Biggest 4 consecutive odd numbers in 56

Answer»

Step-by-step explanation:

The four consecutive odd integers ADDING to 56 are: 11, 13, 15 and 17

Explanation:

First, let's define the four consecutive odd integers. We will call the first odd integer i.

Then by definition of "odd consecutive" the NEXT three will be:

i+2, i+4 and i+6

Knowing they add up to 56 we can WRITE and then SOLVE for i:

i+i+2+i+4+i+6=56

i+i+i+i+2+4+6=56

4i+12=56

4i+12−12=56−12

4i+0=44

4i=44

4i4=444

4i4=11

i=11

Then the other 3 consecutive odd integers will be:

i+2=13

i+4=15

i+6=17
