Question

sum of two consecutive natural number is 53.write the suitable linear equation in one variable for this data.

Answer 1

let one number be x

another will be x+1

therefore  

x+x+1=53

2x+1=53

2x=53-1

x=52/2

x=26

x+1=26+1

=27

there for the two numbers are 26 and 27

hope it helps u

Answer 2

"Since we are given that the two numbers are consecutive and that we have to write the equation using a single variable.

Let the first number be x.

Since the numbers are consecutive, the second number must be x + 1.

The linear equation is given below.

x + x + 1 = 53

2*x = 52

x = 26
