The sum of two consecutive natural numbers is 57. Find the numbers.
- The sum of two consecutive natural numbers is 57.
The numbers.
Let one of the two numbers be x.
Since they are consecutive, the other number must be (x + 1).
Their sum = 57
According to condition,
x + (x + 1) = 57
Remove the bracket.
➳ x + x + 1 = 57
➳ 2x + 1 = 57
Subtract 1 from each side.
➳ 2x + 1 - 1 = 57 - 1
➳ 2x = 56
➳ x =
➳ x = 28
x = 28
Substitute x with 28.
So, one number = x = 28
And, the other number
= (x + 1)
= (28 + 1)
= 29
The two numbers are 28 and 29.
x + (x + 1) = 57
➳ 28 + 29 = 57
➳ 57 = 57
So, L.H.S = R.H.S.
Hence, verified.
