Question 4 (5 points)
The sum of two consecutive odd integers is 56.
What is the smaller number?

A.25
B.27
C.29
D.31

B

Step-by-step explanation:

note there is a difference of 2 between consecutive odd integers.

let the 2 integers be n and n + 2, then

n + n + 2 = 56, that is

2n + 2 = 56 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2n = 54 ( divide both sides by 2 )

n = 27

Thus the smaller integer is 27 → B

The larger integer is n + 2 = 27 + 2 = 29

3+11

14

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
