Question

If the sum of two consecutive numbers is 41 and one number is x, then the other number is- *
1 point
x + (x+1) = 41
x + (x+2) = 41
x + x = 41
none of these.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

if one number is x then another is x+1 because they are consecutive numbers.

$x + (x + 1) = 41$

$2x + 1 = 41$

$2x = 40$

$x = 40 \div 2$

$x = 20$

therefore the two numbers are 20, 21.
