Question 102807
Consecutive odd integers follow the form: {{{2x+1}}}, {{{2x+3}}}, {{{2x+5}}}, ...., etc.


So the sum of sum of two consecutive odd integers is


{{{(2x+1)+(2x+3)=56}}}




{{{4x+4=56}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{4x=56-4}}}Subtract 4 from both sides



{{{4x=52}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(52)/(4)}}} Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x




{{{x=13}}} Divide


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{x=13}}} 



So that means our first number is 

{{{2(13)+1=27}}}


And our second number is 

{{{2(13)+3=29}}}



So our 2 numbers are: 27 and 29
