1.	V. Do as directed.35. Find the four consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 128.36 If x and (150 -x) are two numbers such that their sum is 150 and the greater of two numbers is 9 times thesmaller, find the numbers.107
Answer» Let the four consecutive odd numbers be x , x + 2 , x + 4 and x + 6. Then, according to question , x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 128 => 4x + 12 = 128 => 4x = 128 - 12 => 4x = 116 => x = 116/4 => x = 29 1st number = 29 2nd number = 29 + 2 = 31 3rd number = 29 + 4 = 33 4th number = 29 + 6 = 35

Answer»

Let the four consecutive odd numbers be x , x + 2 , x + 4 and x + 6. Then,

according to question ,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 128

=> 4x + 12 = 128

=> 4x = 128 - 12

=> 4x = 116

=> x = 116/4

=> x = 29

1st number = 29

2nd number = 29 + 2 = 31

3rd number = 29 + 4 = 33

4th number = 29 + 6 = 35
