Okay, my question is to name ALL the pairs of two non-consecutive ODD numbers which add to 16. I got 7 and 9 for one pair lol that's if I'm correct, now how would I solve to find others?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WHat about 5 and 11?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it says "non-consecutive" that is not right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, well help me out, I'm confused on what is NON-consecutive?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

start with 1 1 and 15 3 and 13 etc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not in a row. consecutive, one odd after the next

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Gotch ya, okay thanks Sat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

consecutive odds 1 and 3 3 and 5 5 and 7 7 and 9 etc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw

OpenStudy (amistre64):

divide by 2 and move from there ...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

7 and 9 are consecutive odds tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1,15 3,13 5,11 7,9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but, they are consecutive versus non-consecutive, correct?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

consecutive means one after the other

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so 7 and 9 are out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True.....sorry

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you also might need negatives since the domain stated doesnt restrict it to positive integers alone

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, elaborate on "one after the other"? why wouldn't 7 and 9 be one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They're back to back odd #s

OpenStudy (amistre64):

|dw:1315351632331:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, okay now I see. Thanks yall!
