Question

Find two consecutive natural number whose sum is 75

Answer 1

• Given

• The sum of two consecutive numbers = 75

• To find

• The two consecutive number

• Solution

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

According to the question,

⇒ x + x + 1 = 75

⇒ 2x + 1 = 75

⇒ 2x = 74

⇒ x = 74/2

⇒ x = 37

The value of x is 37.

The two consecutive numbers -

• x = 37
• x + 1 = 37 + 1 = 38

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Let's verify -

The sum of the two consecutive no.s = 75

⇒ 37 + 38

⇒ 75

Hence, verified.
