Question

If the sum of two consecutive numbers
is 101, then find the greater one.

Answer 1

Answer:

51

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two consecutive numbers be 'x' and 'x+1'

their sum equal to 101

x + x + 1 = 101

2x + 1 = 101

2x = 101 - 1

2x = 100

x = 100/2

x = 50

the greatest number = x + 1 = 50 + 1 = 51

Answer 2

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\blue{Solution}$

Let the number be x and x + 1

x + x + 1 = 101

2x = 100

x = 50

Hence the two numbers are 50 and 51
