Answer 1

Given :

• Sum of two consecutive whole number = 27

To find :

• The numbers

According to the question,

Let,

• The number be x
• Other number be x + 1

➝ x + x + 1 = 27

➝ 2x + 1 = 27

➝ 2x = 27 - 1

➝ 2x = 26

➝ x = 26 ÷ 2

➝ x = 13

So,

• The number ➝ x = 13
• Other number ➝ x + 1 = 13 + 1 = 14

Hence,verified.

Answer 2

Answer:

13 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive numbers be n and n + 1.

According to question,

n + n+1 = 27

=> 2n + 1 = 27

=> 2n = 27 - 1

=> 2n = 26

=> n = 26 ÷ 2

=> n = 13

Now, putting the value of n, the two consecutive numbers are 13 and 14.
