The number of home runs by player A and player B for a season are consecutive odd integers whose sum is 672.

Question

this is a math problem I need help with in ordered the pass my grade level in school.

Answer 1

n = number of one player

n + 2 = number of the other player (consecutive odd numbers are separated by 2)

 

n + (n + 2) = 672

 

n = 335

Answer 2

X +X +2 = 672

 

2x + 2 = 672

 

2x = 670

 

x=335

 

335

337
