Answer 3

it has only one factor

Answer 4

Odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 . . .

Answer 5

We need two odd numbers that have a sum of 80.

Answer 6

Odd numbers start with 1....then skip 1 number and the number after that is odd...

Answer 7

We can set up an equation and solve:

x + (x + 2) = 80

2x + x = 80

2x = 78

Divide 2 to both sides:

x = 39

This is our first number, for our 2nd, we can just add 2 to 39, and what's 39 + 2? @agua452015
