Question

Find two consecutive positive integers whose sum is 63​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the numbers be x and (x+1)

$x + x + 1 = 63 \\ \\ 2x + 1 = 63 \\ \\ 2x = 62 \\ \\ x = 31$

The numbers are 31 and 32

Answer 2

Answer:

Let, 1st number =x

2nd number =x+1 ( consecutive numbers)

Thus,

x+x+1=63

2x+1=63

2x=63−1

2x=62

x=

2

62

x=31

x+1=31+1=32

∴ The required numbers are 31 and 32
