what is the equation for: find two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 116?

Let the first odd integer be
N.

Then, the next consecutive integer is
(N+2).

Given that the sum of the integers is
116.

Then, we will write:

 N +
(N+2)= 116

Now we will simplify and solve the
equation.

==> N+ N + 2 =
116

==> 2N + 2 =
116

Now we will solve for
N.

Subtract 2 from both
sides.

==> 2N = 116-2 =
114

==> 2N = 114

Now we
will divide by 2.

==> N =
57

Then, the next consecutive integer is 57+2 =
59.

Then, the integers are: 57 and
59
