Answer: 49

Step-by-step explanation:

From your question, I think you mean the largest number. The answer is given below.

Let the five consecutive odd numbers be:

a, a+2, a+4, a+6 and a+8.

Thee sum of the first and double the last is 139. This can be written as:

a + 2(a+8) = 139

a + 2a + 16 = 139

3a + 16 = 139

3a = 139 - 16

3a = 123

a = 123/3

a = 41

The first number = 41

The largest number = a+8 = 41 + 8 = 49.
