Question

If the sum of 2 consecutive numbers is 71 and 1 number is x then other number is

Answer 1

Answer:

35 & 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

one number is x

According to the question,

x+(x+1)=71

2x=70

x=35

the numbers are x and (x+1)

Therefore, 1st number is x=35

Second number is (x+1)=35+1=36

Answer 2

$\Large{\underline{\underline{\bf{Given:-}}}}$

Sum of two consecutive number is 71

First number is 'x'

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

$\Large{\underline{\underline{\bf{To\: Find:-}}}}$

Other number = ?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

$\Large{\underline{\underline{\bf{Solution:-}}}}$

First number is x

And, Let the other number be x+1

${\bold{\underline{\underline{According\: to \: the \: Question:-}}}}$

$⟹x + x + 1 = 71 \\ \\ ⟹2x + 1 = 71 \\ \\ ⟹2x = 71 - 1 \\ \\ ⟹2x = 70 \\ \\ ⟹x = \frac{70}{2} \\ \\⟹ x = 35$

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

${\bold{\underline{\underline{First\: no.\: is \: x \: = 35}}}}$

${\bold{\underline{\underline{Other \: no.\: is \: x+1\: = 35+1\:=36}}}}$

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

$\Large{\underline{\underline{\bf{Verification:-}}}}$

Sum of two consecutive numbers are = 71

So,

$⟹x + x + 1 = 71 \\ \\⟹ 35 + 36 = 71 \\ \\ ⟹71 = 71$

${\bold{\underline{\underline{Hence\: verified}}}}$
