Answer:
The two odd numbers are 15 and 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let the odd numbers be represented with x and y
Let x be the greater number
[tex]x + 5y = 92[/tex]
Required
Find x and y
Since x and y are consecutive odd numbers and x is greater, then
[tex]x = y + 2[/tex]
Substitute y + 2 for x in [tex]x + 5y = 92[/tex]
[tex]y + 2 + 5y = 92[/tex]
Collect Like Terms
[tex]y + 5y = 92 - 2[/tex]
[tex]6y = 90[/tex]
Divide both sides by 6
[tex]\frac{6y}{6} = \frac{90}{6}[/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{90}{6}[/tex]
[tex]y = 15[/tex]
Substitute 15 for y in [tex]x = y + 2[/tex]
[tex]x = 15 + 2[/tex]
[tex]x = 17[/tex]
Hence; the two odd numbers are 15 and 17
