Identify the equation that represents the sentence "Find two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 116."

A) \( n + (n + 2) = 116 \)

B) \( n + (n + 1) = 116 \)

C) \( 2n + 2 = 116 \)

D) \( 2(n + 2) = 116 \)

Answer :

Answer:

Answer: 57 & 59

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume first odd integer is 'x'

Then, next consecutive integer should be 'x+2'. RIGHT?

Now, put in the form of equation:

x + (x+2) = 116

x + x + 2 = 116

2x + 2 = 116

2x = 116 - 2

2x = 114

x = 114 / 2 => 57

Now, put the value of 'x' in second step:

x + 2 => 57 + 2 = 59

Therefore, answer would be 57 & 59
