Answer 1

x +(x+1) = 53

2x + 1 = 53

2x=52

x= 26

first no. = 26

first no. = 27

Answer 2

Correct question :

The sum of two consecutive numbers is 53. Find the numbers.

Solution:

Let the two consecutive Integers be x and x+1.

According to the question, their aum is 53.

Therefore, x + x + 1 = 53

$\longrightarrow$ 2x + 1 = 53

$\longrightarrow$ 2x = 53 - 1

$\longrightarrow$ 2x = 52

$\longrightarrow$ x = 52/2

$\longrightarrow$ x = 26

Hence, the numbers will be :

• x = 26

• x + 1 = 26 + 1 => 27
