Answer 2

Answer :-

• The numbers are 96 and 112.

To find :-

• The numbers.

Step-by-step explanation :-

• Here, it is given that the sum of two consecutive numbers of 16 is 208. We have to find these numbers.

Let :-

• The two consecutive numbers of 16 be 16x and 16 (x + 1)

According to the question,

• Their sum is 208.

Therefore,

$\dashrightarrow \sf{16x + 16 \: (x + 1) = 208}$

$\dashrightarrow\sf{16x + 16x + 16 = 208}$

$\dashrightarrow \sf{16x + 16x = 208 - 16}$

$\dashrightarrow \sf{16x + 16x = 192}$

$\dashrightarrow\sf{32x = 192}$

$\dashrightarrow \sf{x = \cancel{\dfrac{192}{32}}}$

$\dashrightarrow \sf{x = 6}$

-----------------------------------------------------------

Hence, the numbers are :-

$\bf 16x = 16 \times 6 = 96$

$\bf 16 \: (x + 1) = 16 \: (6 + 1) = 16 \times 7 = 112.$
