Question

The sum of two consecutive multiples of 17 is 85. Find these numbers.

Answer 1

hye

============================

Let the consecutive multiples of 17 is 17n , 17n + 17.

So, sum = 17n + 17n + 17 = 34n +17

sum = 85

let form an equation

=> 32n + 17 = 85

=> 34n = 85 -17

=>34n = 68

=>n = 68 /34

=> n =2

other number is 17n + 17.

=> 34+17


=> 51


the numbers are 34 and 51
