Question

Find two consecutive odd numbers such that the sum of the first number and one-third of the second number is equal to fifty. 35 and 37 37 and 39 49 and 51

Answer 1

The answer is 37 and 39.
(39/3)+37= 50

Answer 2

Answer:

$37$  and  $39$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the first odd number

x+2----> the second consecutive odd number

we know that

$x+\frac{x+2}{3}=50$ ----> linear equation that represent the situation

solve for x

Multiply by $3$ both sides

$3x+(x+2)=150$

$4x=148$

$x=37$

Find the second consecutive odd number

$x+2=37+2=39$
