Question

The sum of 2 consecutive odd integers is 1344, how do you find the two integers?

Answer 1

The two odd integers are `671` and `673`

Explanation:

If `n` represents the smaller of the two consecutive odd integers then `n+2` represents the larger.

We are told
`color(white)("XXX")(n) + (n+2) = 1344`

`color(white)("XXX")rarr2n+2=1344`

`color(white)("XXX")rarr2n=1342`

`color(white)("XXX")rarrn=671`
and
`color(white)("XXX")n+2=673`
