Question

: The sum of two consecutive natural numbers is 72.Find the numbers.

​

Answer 1

let the first number be x

let the second number be x+1

x+x+1=72

2x+1=72

2x=71

x=35.5

therefore ,

x=35.5

x+1=36.5

first number is 35.5

second number is 36.5

Answer 2

$\mathtt{ \huge{\fbox{Solution :)}}}$

Given ,

• Sum of two consecutive natural numbers = 72

Let , the first number be x and other number be x + 1 , so

x + x + 1 = 72

2x = 72 - 1

2x = 71

x = 35.5

Hence , the two consecutive numbers are 35.5 and (35.5 + 1) i.e 36.5
