Question

Sum of consecutive numbers are 230 find the numbers

Answer 1

Here is the answer

Sum of two consecutive numbers are 230.

Thus,
The first number be x and second number be
x + 1.

$\bf {\therefore \: x +( x + 1) = 230}$

$\bf{2x + 1 = 230}$

$\bf{2x = 230 - 1}$

$\bf{2x = 229}$

$\bf{x = \frac{229}{2} = 114.5}$

Thus,
The first number is 114.5

Therefore,
Second number = x + 1
= 114.5 + 1
= 115.5

Thus,

The 2 consecutive numbers are 114.5 and 115.5.

Answer 2

$\textbf{\huge{ANSWER:}}$

Given:

Sum of 2 consecutive numbers = 230

Let the numbers be = x and x + 1
This is just because as the numbers are consecutive.

The equation thus made = x + x + 1 = 230

Solving it, we get:

x + x + 1 = 230

=》 2x = 230 - 1

=》 2x = 229

=》 x = 229/2

=》 x = 114.5

x = 114.5

Then,

x + 1 = 115.5

Hence, the numbers = 114.5 and 115.5
