Question

find two consecutive natural numbers whose sum is 63

Answer 1

Let the two numbers be x and x+1.

Given, x+(x+1) = 63

         2x + 1 = 63

         2x = 62

            x = 31.

The other number will be x + 1 = 32.


The two numbers are 31 and 32.

Answer 2

Let the two numbers be x and x+1
x+(x+1) = 63
2x+1 = 63
2x = 63-1
2x = 62
x = 62/2
x = 31
x+1 = 31+1 = 32
Therefore the two numbers are 31 and 32
