Question

The sum of two consecutive natural numbers is 149.Find the largest number among them.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the small number is X and large number is X+1

according to question

X+X+1=149

2X+1=149

2X=149-1

X=148/2

X=74

larger number is 75 and smaller one is 74

Answer 2

Answer

• Largest number = 75

Solution

• Sum of two consecutive natural numbers = 149

Let the consecutive numbers be x and (x + 1)

→ x + (x + 1) = 149

→ x + x + 1 = 149

→ 2x + 1 = 149

→ 2x = 149 - 1

→ 2x = 148

→ x = 148/2

→ x = 74

• First number = x = 74
• Second number = x + 1 = 75

•°• Largest number is 75
