Question

The sum
of two con secutive numbers is 61, find the smaller number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Smallest No. = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

(x) + (x+1) = 61

x + x + 1 = 61

2x = 61 - 1

2x = 60

x = 30

Answer 2

Answer:

The smallest no. is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller no be n

So, the other no is n+1

Given:

n+(n+1)= 61

⇒2n+1=61

⇒2n = 61-1

⇒2n =60

⇒ n= 60/2

⇒ n = 30 and the another number is 31 i.e., (n+1)= (30+1)= 31
