Answer 2

Concept

Integers are colloquially defined as numbers that can be written without fractions.

Given

The sum of two consecutive number is 71 and one number is x

Find

The other number from the option

• Given sum of two consecutive number is 71 and one number is x
• So the other consecutive number will x+1 and it's sum is 71
• So the equation will be x+(x+1)=71

Hence if the sum of two consecutive number is 71 and one number is x then the other number will be x+(x+1)=71
