Question

Sum of two consecutive number is 5. Find of the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Required numbers are 2 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required consecutive numbers are a and a + 1 .

According to the question, sum of both the numbers should be 5.

So,

= >  a + ( a + 1 ) = 5

= >  a + a + 1 =5

= >  2a + 1 = 5

= >  2a = 5 - 1

= >  2a = 4

= >  a = 4 / 2

= >  a = 2

Therefore the required consecutive numbers are : -

a = 2

a + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3

Numbers are 2 and 3.

Answer 2

Solution:- Let x and x + 1 be two consecutive numbers.
x + ( x + 1 ) = 5
x + x + 1 = 5
2x + 1 = 5
2x = 5 - 1
2x = 4
x = 2
Therefore, the numbers are 2 and 3.
