Natalia Newton · Answer 1

N+n+2=44 combine like terms on left side

2n+2=44 subtract 2 from both sides

2n=42 divide both sides by 2

n=21

So n and n+2 are 21 and 23.

2 consecutive odd integers ... x and x + 2

x + x + 2 = 44

2x + 2 = 44

2x = 44 - 2

2x = 42

x = 42/2

x = 21

x + 2 = 21 + 2 = 23

ur numbers are 21 and 23
