This depends on what "x" is. The sum of the first x odd numbers is equal to x^2 or x*x.

The sum of the odd numbers (from 1) up to to 500 is 62500. The sum of an arithmetic series is given by: sum = 1/2 x number_in_series x (first + last) For the odd numbers from 1 to 500, there is: number_in_series = 250 first = 1 last = 499 which gives the sum as: sum = 1/2 x 250 x (1 + 499) = 62500.
The sum of the first n odd numbers is n squared. 25 x 25 = 625
x+x+2 The x is the first integer and x+2 is the odd integer since odd numbers are every other number. so the sum therefore is x+x+2
This is very easy. Simply square the number: 100 squared (100 x 100) = 10,000. So, the sum of the first 100 odd numbers is 10,000.
Let's call the first odd number x. Since the numbers are consecutive, the second odd number would be x + 2. The sum of the two numbers is 44, so the equation would be x + (x + 2) = 44. Solving this equation yields x = 21, which means the two consecutive odd numbers are 21 and 23.
