Question

Sum of two 2 consective natural numbers is 70. Find the numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

34.5 and 35.5

Explanation:

Let the 2 consecutive numbers be x and (x+1)

x + (x+1) = 70

2x + 1 + 70

2x = 70 - 1 = 69

x = 69/2 = 34.5

(x+1) = 35.5

Thus, there no such 2 consecutive natural numbers whose sum = 70, but

 there can be 2 consecutive (non- natural) numbers whose sum =70.

Answer 2

Answer:

34.5 and 35.5

Explanation:

Let the 2 consecutive numbers be x and (x+1)

x + (x+1) = 70

2x + 1 + 70

2x = 70 - 1 = 69

x = 69/2 = 34.5

(x+1) = 35.5

Thus, there no such 2 consecutive natural numbers whose sum = 70, but

 there can be 2 consecutive (non- natural) numbers whose sum =70.
