(2x - 1) + (2x + 1) = 52

4x = 52

x = 13

The first 2 of 5 consecutive odd integers are 25 and 27.

(Check: 25 + 27 = 52 yay!)

The last 2 of 5 are 31 and 33.

Their sum is 64.

If the sum of the first two of the five consecutive odd integers is 52what is the sum of the last two integers?

Let the first odd integer be x, then the second one is x + 2. So we have: x + (x + 2) = 52 2x + 2 = 52 subtract 2 to both sides 2x = 50 divide by 2 to both sides x = 25 Thus, the first number is 25. Since consecutive odd integers grow by 2, then the second is 27, the third is 29, the fourth is 31, and the fifth integer is 33. So the sum of the last two integers is 64 ( 31 + 33).


How do you find consecutive integers?

Consecutive integers could be thought of as counting numbers in a row. One of them is "lowest" and the next one will be one more than that, and the last one will be one more than the second one. The numbers 7, 8 and 9 and 46, 47 and 48 are each said to be three consecutive integers. You often come across a question that tells you that 3 consecutive integers add up to a value. Example 3 consecutive integers add to 6. What are the integers? Let the first integer be x the second is then x +1 the third x+2 add them x+x+1+x+2 =3x+3 and this would be equal to 6. we then have the equation 3x+3=6 3x=3 x=1 so the first integer is 1, the second would be 2 and the third 3


The sum of three consecutive odd integers is equal to 39?

You can always guess and check! When they are consecutive, it means they must be the next odd integer up from the last. For this, it is 11, 13, 15. 11+13+15= 39


What are the last two digits in the sum of factorials of the first 100 positive integers?

They are 13.


What is the last digit in the product of the first 20 odd natural numbers?

The last digit in the product of the first 20 odd natural numbers can be determined by looking at the pattern of the units digit in the multiplication of consecutive odd numbers. The units digit of the product of consecutive odd numbers alternates between 1 and 5. Since there are 10 odd numbers between 1 and 19, and 20 is also an odd number, the last digit in the product of the first 20 odd natural numbers is 5.
