Question

The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 236. What is the smaller integer?

Answer 1

Here I present an equation \[x + (x + 2) = 236 \]

Answer 2

Solve for \(x\).

Answer 3

Remember that if an odd number is \(x\), then the next odd number is \(x+2\).
That makes two consecutive odd numbers. Okay?
