Question

The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 244. What is the smaller integer?

Answer 1

121, 123

Explanation:

Let the smaller of the two odd numbers be `x`
Then, the larger of the two odd numbers is `x+2`

Since the sum of the 2 odd numbers is 244,
Then, `x+x+2=244`

`2x+2=244`
`2x=242`
`x=121`

Therefore, the two odd numbers are 121 and 123
