I'll represent the smaller number with the variable 'n'. Now, how much larger must the second number be?
The consecutive odd integers starting at 1:
1,3,5,7,9,11,13...
You can see that each number is two more than the last number. Therefore, we know that the larger number must be 2 more than 'n', or n+2. Finally, use the last piece of information that you are given to solve the problem.
1st number + 2nd number = 130
n + n+2 = 130
2n + 2 = 130
2n + 2 - 2 = 130 - 2
2n = 128
2n/2 = 128/2
n = 64
This is the first number, and so we know that because the second number is 2 more than the second number, the second number must be 64+2, or 66.
n+2 = 64 + 2
n + 2 = 66
The two integers are 64 and 66
You can check to see if this is correct.
64 + 66 =? 130
130 = 130
This is correct.
There are no three consecutive odd integers who's sum equals 13.
The two odd integers are 57 and 59.
17 (odd integer) + 19 (odd integer) = 36 17 and 19 are consecutive odd integers.
Are not all integers spaced out to be odd then even then odd then even etc (eg 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, etc) and therefore there is no such thing as two consecutive odd integers.
The integers are 15 and 17.
There are no two consecutive integers that sum to 58. With two consecutive integers, one is even, the other is odd. The sum of an even number and an odd number is odd. 58 is even so cannot be the sum of two consecutive integers.
find the two consecutive odd integers with a sum of 152
The sum of two consecutive integers will always be an odd number.
There are no three consecutive odd integers who's sum equals 13.
The sum of any three consecutive odd integers is going to give an odd result. It is impossible for the sum of an odd number of odd integers to equal an even number.
The numbers are 55, and 57. Two consecutive integers have an odd sum.
If you have two consecutive integers then one of them must be odd and the other must be even. The square of an odd integer must be odd, the square of an even integer must be even. The sum of an odd number and an even number must be odd. Thus, the sum of squares of any two consecutive numbers must be odd. Therefore, the question has no valid answer.
The two consecutive negative odd integers having 74 as the sum of their squares are -5 and -7.
-85 + -87 = -172 While -85 and -87 are not consecutive integers, they are consecutive odd integers.
The two odd integers are 57 and 59.
Find 2 consecutive ODD integers whose sum is -88 ANSWER: -45, -43
There is a set of two consecutive integers that have a sum of 123; one odd and one even. They are 61 and 62.
