Question

the sum of two consecutive numbers is 153.find the numbers​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• let the two consecutive numbers be x, x + 1

$x + x + 1 = 153 \\ 2x + 1 = 153 \\ 2x = 153 - 1 \\ 2x = 152 \\ x = \frac{152}{2} \\ x = 76$

so, the consecutive numbers are 76, 77

Answer 2

x+x+1 = 153

2x = 152

x = 76

The numbers are 76 and 77
