Find the two consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 200 |
|
Answer» Let the two consecutive odd numbers be x and x + 2 ∴ Their sum = 200 x + (x + 2) = 200 x + x + 2 = 200 2x + 2 = 200 2x + 2 – 2 = 200 – 2 [∵ Subtracting 2 from both sides] 2x = 198 \(\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{198}{2}\) [Dividing both sides by 2] x = 99 The numbers will be 99 and 99 + 2. ∴ The numbers will be 99 and 101. |
