amistre64 · Answer

well, i would hope that you would define the n=69 even number,  and n=119 odd number .. and subtract as needed

calculusxy · Answer

So is it like 138 (2*69) and 119 (1*119) be like 19?

ranga · Answer

69th even number is: 69*2 = 138
119th odd number is: (2*119) - 1 = 237
69th even natural number subtracted from the 119th odd natural number is:
237 - 138 = 99.
