Question

The sum of a whole number and its successor is 47.What are the number.

Answer 1

let one no. be x
let other no. be x+1
A.TQ.
x+x+1=47
2x+1=47
2x=47-1
2x=46
x=46÷2
x=23

now, x=23
x+1=23+1=24

Answer 2

answer is 23 or 46 because sum of whole no. is 46 and if we add two no. to make 47 one 23 and other is also 23 and we add successor to its sum than it make 47
