Question

The sum of two consecutive natural numbers is 35. Set up an equation for the above case

Answer 1

Answer:

17,18

Step-by-step explanation:

x +(x+1)=35

2x +1=35

2x= 35-1

2x=34

x=34/2

x=17

x+1=18

Answer 2

Answer:

x + (x + 2) = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be 'x', and let the second number be '(x + 2)', because it is a consecutive number.

EG: The sum of 2 consecutive numbers is 14. Form an equation and find the numbers.

SOLUN.

=>  Let the number be 'x', and let the second number be '(x + 2)'.

x + (x+2) = 14

x + x + 2 = 14    

2x + 2 = 14

{+2 is sent to the other side and becomes -2.}

2x = 14 - 2

2x = 12

{2 is sent to the other side and divides 12.}

Therefore, x = 12/2

x = 6

Verification:

x + (x + 2) = 14

{Replace x with 6.}

6 + (6 + 2) = 14

6 + 6 + 2 = 14

12 + 2 = 14

14 = 14

Therefore, LHS = RHS.
