Question

If the sum of two consecutive numbers is 79 then find the largest number ​

Answer 1

Answer:

let’s assign the first integer as n

therefore: the next two integers would be consecutive, n + 1, n + 2

putting it together:

n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 3n +3

3n + 3 = 240

3n = 237

n = 79

the two larger integers from before: 79+1, 79+2

80 and 81 = 161
