Question

Two consecutive odd integers have a sum of 224.?

Answer 1

Let two consecutive odd numbers be x and (x + 2)

Given that their sum is 224

x + x + 2  =  224

2x + 2  =  224

2x  =  224 - 2

2x  =  222

x  =  222/2

x  =  111

x + 2  =  111 + 2 

         =  113

Answer :

The numbers are 111 and 113.
