Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
let the two consecutive odd numbers be n and n + 2 , then
n + n + 2 = 148 , collect like terms
2n + 2 = 148 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
2n = 146 ( divide both sides by 2 )
n = 73
n + 2 = 73 + 2 = 75
The 2 numbers are 73 and 75
----------------------------------------------------------------
let width be w then length = 2w - 6
The perimeter (P) is calculated as
P = 2(width + length) , then
2(w + 2w - 6) = 54 ( divide both sides by 2 )
w + 2w - 6 = 27 , collect like terms
3w - 6 = 27 ( add 6 to both sides )
3w = 33 ( divide both sides by 3 )
w = 11
2w - 6 = 2(11) - 6 = 22 - 6 = 16
length = 16 in and width = 11 in
