Select the inequality that models the problem:

The sum of two consecutive odd integers is at least 76. Find the least possible pair of integers.

A. [tex]n + n + 2 \geq 76[/tex]

B. [tex]n + n + 2 > 76[/tex]

C. [tex]n + n + 1 > 76[/tex]

D. [tex]n + n + 1 \geq 76[/tex]

Answer :

Answer:

  • n + n + 2 ≥ 76

Explanation:

To find odd numbers, we have to use n + n + 2

For example let the number be 1, the 1 + 2 = 3, 3 + 2 = 5.

Therefore, used: n + n + 2 expression and it should be equals or at least 76. so finally n + n + 2 ≥ 76 applies.
