Question

Find two consecutive numbers whose sum is 63

Answer 1

Let the first number be #x#. Then the next number is #x+1#

So,

#rarr(x)+(x+1)=63#

#rarrx+x+1=63#

#rarr2x+1=63#

#rarr2x=63-1#

#rarr2x=62#

#rarrx=62/2#

#color(green)(rArrx=31#

One number is #31#, so the other number is#color(green)(x+1=32#

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

hello friend,
Divide 63 by 2;
you get 31.5.
This is non-whole, so take the whole part which is 31.
