sum of 2consective numbers is 18. find the number​


sivaprasath: no, it isn't possible
sivaprasath: sum of 2 consecutive numbers can't be even
Bajaj2403: It is very much possible.
sivaprasath: assuming their should be an even number and an odd number,.
sum of an even number and odd number can't be even (18)
sivaprasath: if it is, it will come in decimal places,.
sivaprasath: let the number be a,
The consecutive number be, a + 1,
a + (a+1) = 18 => 2a + 1 = 18
=> 2a = 17 => a = 8.5,.
it can be 8.5 & 9.5,.
the term consecutive is uncertain here
sivaprasath: The term consecutive should be used only for natural numbers,.
JungKook01997: nope
sivaprasath: well, you need to understand mathematics,.

Let the two consecutive no.s be X , X + 1

given that - sum is 18

according to condition :

X + X + 1= 18

2X + 1 = 18

2X = 18 - 1

2 X = 17

X = 17 / 2

AND HENCE , THEN NUMBER IS 17 / 2

Let the two consecutive no.be xand x+2

A/Q

x+(x+1)=18

2x+1=18

2x=18-1

2x=17

therefore x=17/2
