Let the five odd integers be:
x ,
x+2 , x+4, x+6 , x+ 8
Then given the sum of the first two integers
is 52
==> x + (x+ 2) = 52
Let us
combine like terms:
x + x + 2 =
52
==> 2x + 2 = 52
==> 2x
= 50
==> x = 25
Then the first
number is 25
Then the second numbers is 25+2 =
27
The third consecutive integer = 25+ 4 =
29
The fourth integer is = 25+ 6) =
31
The fifth integer is = 25+8 =
33
Then the sum of the last two integers
is:
31 + 33 =
64
