Question

The sum of two consecutive numbers is 53 find the number
​

Answer 1

Let the two consecutive number be

x , x + 1

x + x + 1 = 53

2x = 53 - 1

2x = 52

x = 52 / 2

x = 26

Then the numbers are 26 , 27

Answer 2

Answer:

The sum of two consecutive numbers is 53

Let the consecutive number is x,x+1

= x+x+1= 53

= 2x=53

= 2x=53-1

= 2x=52

x = 52/2

x = 26

x+1= 26+1 =27

Then the other number is 26,27
