Question 6413
hi, listen two consecutive odd nunmbers wud be:]
 1st one: x, 2nd wud b : x+2
 if its sum is 56
means:
   x+ (x+2) = 56 
   2x = 56 -2
   x= 54/2
  x= 27
  27 is the first odd number and the second is 27 + 2 i.e. 29
------------------------
sum of two numbers is 72

let smaller: x
larger: 4+x
its sum:
   (4+x) + x = 72
    4+2x=72
     x= 68/2
     x= 34
smaller is 34 and the larger is 34 + 4 = 38
