Question

express the following as sum of two consecutive natural number 22²​

Answer 1

let the two consecutive numbers be x and x+1.

if x is a number, consecutive number is next number so if we take x+1 then it becomes one number more than x so it is the next number

x+x+1=22^2

2x+1=22^2

2x+1=484

2x=483

x=241.5

x+1=241.5+1=242.5
