Question
Find the two consecutive odd numbers whose sum is 200
Solution
Let the two consecutive odd numbers be x and x + 2
∴ Their sum = 200
x + (x + 2) = 200
x + x + 2 = 200
2x + 2 = 200
2x + 2 – 2 = 200 – 2 ...[∵ Subtracting 2 from both sides]
2x = 198
`(2x)/2` = `198/2` ...[Dividing both sides by 2]
x = 99
The numbers will be 99 and 99 + 2.
∴ The numbers will be 99 and 101.
