Greetings!
Let x represent the first odd number
Let x+2 represent the second odd number
To solve for the numbers, we can create an equation:
[tex](x)+(x+2)=124[/tex]
Combine like terms:
[tex]2x+2=124[/tex]
Add -2 to both sides:
[tex](2x+2)+(-2)=(124)+(-2)[/tex]
[tex]2x=122[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2:
[tex] \frac{2x}{2}= \frac{122}{2} [/tex]
[tex]x=61[/tex]
The Answer Is:
[tex]\boxed{x=61} [/tex]
The two consecutive odd numbers are 61 and 63.
I hope this helped!
