Question

find two consecutive numbers such that the greater number added to 3 times of the smaller number makes a total of 53

Answer 1

Two consecutive numbers are pairs of numbers like

1,2

or

18,19

one right after the other". That is, one of the integers is immediately to the right of the other, when viewed on a number line.

Denote the smaller integer using

Then the larger of the two consecutiveintegers must be

n+1

n+1

. That leaves us with solving the following:

n+(n+1)=2n+1=53.

n+(n+1)=2n+1=53.

That means

2n=53−1=52,

2n=53−1=52,

so

n=

52

2

=26

n=522=26

So, we have

n=26,n+1=27,

n=26,n+1=27,

as desired.

1

x+(x+1)=532x+1=53

2x=52x=26

x+(x+1)=532x+1=532x=52x=26

The numbers are:

x=26

x=26

and

x+1=27

x+1=27

Answer 2

if we mulitiply 13 with 3 product is 39 and if we add 14 in 39 the answer is 53
