Question

The sum of two consecutive numbers is 101.find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

first number is x.

second number is x+1.

sum of consecutive number is 101.

x+x+1=101

2x+1=101

2x=100

x=50

x+1=51

Answer 2

Answer:

50 and 51

Step-by-step explanation:

let the two consecutive numbers be 'x' and 'x+1'

sum of two consecutive numbers = 101

now,

x + x + 1 = 101

2x + 1 = 101

2x = 101 - 1

2x = 100

x = 100/2

x = 50

therefore,

first number = x = 50

second number = x + 1 = 50 + 1 = 51
