Question

sum of two consecutive natural numbers is 53 . Write the suitable linear equation in one variable?

give me the answer please!

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

Answer 2

Given

sum of two consecutive natural numbers is 53 .

Find out the  linear equation in one variable.

To proof

Consecutive Number

Consecutive number are the number that follow eachother in the numbers

example = x , x+1, x+2......

Let us assume that the one number = n

other consecutive number be = n + 1

As given

sum of two consecutive natural numbers is 53 .

than the linear equation become in the form

n + n +1 = 53

2n + 1 = 53

on solving the above equation

2n = 52

$n = \frac{52}{2}$

we get

n = 26

One number be = 26

therefore the other number be = 26 + 1

                                                 = 27

Hence proved
