Question

Express 15^2as the sum of two consecutive numbers.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Now

15²= 15×15 = 225

Let the two consecutive numbers be x and x+1

The sum of x and x+1 is 225

Thus we get the equation

x+x+1 = 225

2x+1 = 225

2x = 224

x= 112

so x+1 = 112+1 = 113

The two consecutive numbers are 112 and 113
