The average of four consecutive odd numbers is 24. Find the largest number.

25
27
29
31

• consecutive numbers are x+2,x+4,x+6,x+8
  avg=x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8/4=24
  x=19
  therefore largest number is x+8
  19+8=27
  ans is 27

• Let the numbers are x, x+2, x+4, x+6, then
  =>x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)4=24
  =>x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)4=24
  
  
  =>4x+12)4=24
  =>4x+12)4=24
  
  
  =>x+3=24=>x=21
  =>x+3=24=>x=21
  
  
  So largest number is 21 + 6 = 27

• let us consider 4 consecutive odd numbers as (a-4), (a-2),a and (a+2)
  ((a-4) + (a-2)+a+ (a+2))/4 =24
  a-1 =24
  a=25
  the consecutive numbers are 21, 23, 25 , 27
  the largest number s 27
