Question 807233: Which equation should be used to solve this problem?
The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 24. Find the integers.
Let n = first integer.
(The second let statement is not given. You will have to decide what it should be.)
a)n + (n + 1) = 24
d)n + n = 24
c)n + (n + 2) = 24
d)2n - 1 = 24
