The sum of 2 consecutive odd integers is 92. Find the numbers.

If x represents the smaller integer, then the larger integer is

x + 2

Answer: If x is odd then x + 2 is going to be the next odd integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation and solve.

x + x + 2 = 92 This is the equation. Collect like terms.

2x + 2 = 92 Subtract 2

2x = 90 divide by 2

x = 45

x + 2 = 47

45 + 47 = 92.

So x + 2 is the next odd number after x.
