Question

2 consecutive natural number whose sum is 63.find the number--x+(x+1)=63

Answer 1

Given: Two consecutive natural numbers add up to 63.

To find: The numbers.

Answer:

Let one of the numbers be x.

Difference between two consecutive natural numbers = 1 (2 - 1 = 1, 3 - 2 = 1)

Therefore the other number = x + 1

So, x + x + 1 = 63

2x + 1 = 63

2x = 63 - 1

2x = 62

x = 62/2

x = 31

Therefore the numbers are 31 and 31 + 1 = 32.

Hope it helps :)
