Question 16841: What are two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 56?

let(2n+1) be first integer
(2n+1) always gives odd number for n= any integer
so(2n+1)+(2n+3)= 56 (2n+3 gives next odd integer after 2n+1)
4n+4=56 subtract 4 from both sides
4n=52 divide both sides by 4
n=13 put this into(2n+1)
2 x 13+1=27
2 x 13+3=29
27+29=56
hope you get it
