Algebra.Com's Answer #276603 by richard1234(7193)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the integers are x and x+2 then\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + (x+2) = 141\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x + 2 = 141\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x = 139 --> x = 139/2 which is not an integer. Therefore there is no such set of two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 141. \n" ); document.write( " |
