Question

What are 2 consecutive odd integers that equal 116?

Answer 1

`57, 59`

Explanation:

Let `n` be the lower of the two consecutive odd integers. Then the greater is `n+2` and

`n + (n+2) = 116`

`=> 2n + 2 = 116`

`=> 2n = 114`

`=> n = 57`

Thus the two consecutive odd integers are `57` and `57+2 = 59`
