Question

The sum of two consecutive numbers is 36. Find the numbers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

17.5 and 18.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Two consecutive numbers = x and (x+1)

Sum = 36

Therefore, x + (x+1) = 36

x + x + 1 = 36

2x = 36-1

2x = 35

x = 35/2 = 17.5

Therefore, (x+1) = 17.5 + 1 = 18.5

Answer 2

Answer:

The Numbers are 17.5 and 18.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sum = 36

To find :

The Numbers

Solution :

Let the Numbers be =

• X
• (X + 1)

➨ x + (x + 1) = 36

➨ 2x + 1 = 36

➨ 2x = 36 - 1

➨ 2x = 35

➨ x = 35/2

➨ x = 17.5

Second Number =

➨ (x + 1)

➨ (17.5) + 1

➨ 18.5

$\therefore$ The Numbers are 17.5 and 18.5
