Choose the equation that could be used to find two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 68.

n + (n + 1) = 68
n + (n + 2) = 68
n − (n + 2) = 68
n + 2n = 68

Question

Choose the equation that could be used to find two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 68.
 	
	n + (n + 1) = 68
	n + (n + 2) = 68
	n − (n + 2) = 68
	n + 2n = 68

Okay, this is trickier. The key word here is ODD

If you had a set of numbers, say: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7....}, then you can pick two consecutive odd numbers at random, say 5 and 7...

And the second number would always be `two more than` the first.  So if 
5 = n then 7 = n + 2.

That's your hint.

so B

hero · Answer

Even integers work in a similar way as well. The second integer is always two more than the first.
