Question

The sum of the two consecutive numbers is 74. Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

let numbers be x and x+1

x+x+1 = 74

2x + 1 = 74

2x = 73

x = 73/2

x = 36.5

numbers are 36.5 and 37.5

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: let one number be x, then the other number will be X + 1.

=>X+(X+1)=74

=>2x+1=74

=>2x=74-1

=> X=73/2

This implies the first number is 73/2.

And the second number is 73/2+1= 75/2.
