Step-by-step explanation:

the correct answer is 23 and 27.

Answer 2

Given,

The sum of two consecutive even natural numbers = 50.

To find,

The two consecutive even natural numbers.

Solution,

The two consecutive even natural numbers are 24 and 26.

We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.

Now,

We know that we will get the second consecutive even number by adding 2 to the previous (first) number. (Even numbers can be divided by 2 to give a complete natural number. For example, 2, 4 and 6.)

Let's take the first number to be x.

Then, the second number will be (x+2).

The sum of two consecutive even natural numbers = 50.

x + (x+2) = 50

2x + 2 = 50

2x = 50-2 ( Moving 2 from L.H.S. to R.H.S. will result in the change of sign from plus to minus )

2x = 48

x = 48/2

x = 24

Hence, the first even natural number will be 24 and the second natural number will be 26.

(In the question, it is written "odd natural number" but the answer we get is an even number because there can not be two consecutive odd natural numbers whose sum is 50. So, the correct question will be for even numbers.)
