Question

Predecessor of the successor of -17 is

Answer 1

Basic Concepts:

• Predecessor of a number is the number present immediately before the actual number. It is obtained by subtracting 1 from the original number.
• On the other hand, successor of a number is the number present immediately after the actual number. It is obtained by adding 1 to the actual number.
• The predecessor of a number lies on the left side of it in the number line whereas the successor of the number lies on the right side of it in the number line.

Solution:

Successor of -17 is -17 + 1 or -16.

Predecessor of the successor of -17

= Predecessor of -16

= -16 - 1

= -17

Which is our required answer.

Answer:

• The predecessor of the successor of -17 is -17.

Answer 2

Answer:

-17

Step-by-step explanation:

• To find  successor add 1 to that respective number
• Similary, to find predecessor subtract 1 from that number

Successor of -17

             -17+1 = -16

Predecessor of -17

             -17-1 = -18

Predecessor of the successor of -17

means Predecessor of -16 = -16-1 = -17
