Question

Find the two consecutive natural number whose sum is 51

Answer 1

Answer:

25 and 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive odd numbers be x and x + 1

Their sum = 51

According to the question,

x + x + 1 = 51

=> 2x + 1 = 51

=> 2x = 51 - 1

=> 2x = 50

=> x = $\dfrac{50}{2}$

=> x = 25

1st number => x

=> 25

2nd number => x + 1

=> 25 + 1

=> 26

∴ The two natural consecutive natural numbers whose sum is 51 are 25 and 26 respectively.

Answer 2

${\boxed {\boxed {\sf {Here's \: the \: answer}}}}$

25 and 26

Reason :

Step by step Explanation =>

Let the two consecutive natural number be ( x ) and (x + 1).

As given , Their sum is 51

$\bf{ \therefore x + (x + 1) = 51}$

$\sf{2x + 1 = 51}$

Taking coefficients on one side and variable on other side ,

$\sf{2x = 51 - 1}$

$\sf{2x = 50}$

$\sf{x = \frac{50}{2}}$

$\bf{x = 25}$

Thus,

The first number is 25.

Now ,

x + 1 = 25 + 1 = 26.

The second number is 26.

Final answer =>

The two consecutive natural number whose sum is 51 is 25 and 26.
