Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To make sure that you are adding 2 odd numbers, the first one is 2x - 1 and 2x + 1
Their sum is 216
Equation
2x - 1 + 2x + 1 = 216
Solution
2x - 1 + 2x + 1 = 216 Combine like terms on the left
4x = 216 Divide by 4
4x/4 = 216/4 Combine
x = 54
Answer
2x - 1 = 2*54 - 1 = 108 - 1 = 107
2x + 1 = 2*54 + 1 = 108+1 = 109
The two consecutive odd numbers are 107 and 109
