Question

The sum of two consecutive numbers is 303. What Is the first number

Answer 1

Let the two consecutive numbers be x and x + 1

Given, the sum of two clnsecutive numbers is 303


According to the question,

x + x + 1 = 303

2x + 1 = 303

2x = 303 - 1

2x = 302

x = $\dfrac{302}{2}$

x = 151



1st number => x

=> 151


2nd number => x + 1

=> 151 + 1

=> 152




∴ The two consecutive numbers are 151 and 152

Answer 2

let two consecutive number numbers be nand n+1
According to question
n+n+1=303
2n+1=303
2n=303-1
2n=302
n=302\2
n=151
Therefore, numbers are n=151
and n+1=151+1=152
so, we want first number i.e., n=151
