Question

The sum of two consecutive numbers is 103. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

51 and 52

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that n+ (n+1) = 103

which gives 2n=102

Therefore n= 102/2 =51

the first number is 51, the next is 52.

Answer 2

To find two consecutive natural numbers, whose sum is 103,.

Solution :

We knew that,

The term consecutive natural number meant that, they are in successive in numerical order..

let the first number be x,

Then, the successive natural number will be (x + 1),.

We know that,

Sum of two consecutive number is 103

⇒ x + (x + 1) = 103

⇒ 2x + 1 = 103

⇒ 2x = 103 - 1

⇒ 2x = 102

⇒ x = \frac{102}{2} = 51

∴ x = 51

∴ (x + 1) = (51 + 1) = 52

⇒ The two consecutive numbers are 51 & 52, respectively,.
