Question

The sum of two consecutive add number is 72.
Which number lies between these two numbers?

Answer 1

Let the first number be x and the second number be x + 2.

x + x + 2 = 72
2x + 2 = 72
2x = 72 - 2
2x = 70
x = 70 ÷ 2 which will give you 35.

35 + 2 = 37

The first number is 35 and the second number is 37. Hence the number between is 36.
