Answer 2

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept= Natural numbers

Given= The sum of two consecutive natural numbers

To Find= The  larger number

Explanation=

We have been given the question as if the sum of two consecutive natural numbers is 29,then the larger number is ----- .

We know that Natural numbers start from 1,2,3.....and so o.

Consecutive numbers means two numbers which are just one after other.

Either one number may be less by 1 or greater 1 to it.

Here let us take the initial number to be x.

So the consecutive number after x will be x+1.

The sum of two numbers is given as 29.

so,

x + (x+1) =29

2x+1=29

2x=29-1

2x=28

x=28/2=14

x=14.

Since one number is x which is 14

The other number was x+1= 14+1=15

Therefore the numbers are 14 and 15.

We need to find the largest number amongst the two so between 14 and 15, the number is the largest.

Hence, the  larger number is 15.
