Find two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 168

Answer 1

let x be the 1st odd integer.

do you know what the next odd integer would be?

Answer 2

83+85

Answer 3

83> 85

Answer 4

How do you figure it out

Answer 5

x+(x+2)=168

Answer 6

x+x+2 = 168 > 2x+2=168
now subtract 2-2 and 168-2

2x=166

2x/2x = 166/2x = 83

Answer 7

let x be the 1st odd integer
let y=x+2

Answer 8

well that's how i did it, not sure if it's the correct correct way but it sure was correct in the math haha =)

Answer 9

let x be the 1st int
let y be the 2nd int
the equation will be: x+y=168
we then let y=x+2 since it is the preceding odd integer.
then substitute y in x+y=168,thus
x+(x+2)=168.
solve.
