Question

If the sum of two consecutive numbers is 71 and one number is x, then the other numbers is​

Answer 1

The value of x is 35 and (x+1) is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be x

Let the other number added with x be x+1

Now, the equation can be

x+(x+1) = 71

x+x+1 = 71

2x = 71–1

2x = 70

x = 70/2

x = 35

So the value of x is 35

and the value of (x+1) is 35+1 = 36
