Question

if the sum of the two consecutive numbers is 11, find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let us consider the first number to be a variable 'a', therefore the consecutive number of a is 'a + 1'. ⟹a = -6, hence a + 1 = -6 + 1 = -5. Hence the two consecutive numbers are -6 and -5.

Answer 2

Solution:

Let the two consecutive numbers be x and x + 1.

As per the conditions, we have

x + x + 1 = 11

⇒ 2x + 1 = 11

⇒ 2x = 11 – 1 (Transposing 1 to RHS)

⇒ 2x = 10

x = 5

Hence, the required numbers are 5 and 5 + 1 = 6
