Answer 1

AnsWer

let the greater number be x

smaller number be x-1

a/q

x+x-1=15

2x-1=15

2x=16

x=8. smaller number= 8-1=7.

Answer 2

Answer:

Two consecutive numbers= x and x-1

According to the question,

x+(x-1)=15

x+x-1=15

2x-1=15

2x=15+1

2x=16

x=16/2

x=8

Greater number = 8

Smaller number = 8-1 = 7
