You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let(2n+1) be first integer
\n" ); document.write( "(2n+1) always gives odd number for n= any integer
\n" ); document.write( "so(2n+1)+(2n+3)= 56 (2n+3 gives next odd integer after 2n+1)
\n" ); document.write( "4n+4=56 subtract 4 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "4n=52 divide both sides by 4
\n" ); document.write( "n=13 put this into(2n+1)
\n" ); document.write( "2 x 13+1=27
\n" ); document.write( "2 x 13+3=29
\n" ); document.write( "27+29=56
\n" ); document.write( "hope you get it
