Question

find two consecutive numbers whose sum is 47​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let one no. be x

Other no. x+1

so

x+x+1=47

2x+1=47

2x=47-1

x=46/2

x=23

Answer 2

Let us call our integers:n

and

n+1

our condition is such that:

n+(n+1)=47

solve for

n :2n=47−1

n=46(2) =23

so that our integers will be:

23

and

24
