Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

5 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

let the consecutive numbers are (x) and (x+1)

Given :- sum of two consecutive numbers is 11

Solution :-

$x + (x + 1) = 11$

$x + x + 1 = 11$

$\: 2x + 1 = 11$

$\: 2x = 11 - 1$

$\: 2x = 10$

$\: x = \frac{10}{2} \: = \: 5$

Therefore the numbers are

1. x = 5
2. x+1 = 5 + 1 = 6
