Question

The sum of two consecutive numbers is 53. Find the number.

Answer 1

Let the consecutive number be x,x+1
ATQ,
x+x+1 = 53
2x = 53-1
2x = 52
x = 26
Then the numbers are 26,27

Answer 2

Let one number be x
Another number be x+1
So,x+x+1=53
2x+1=53
2x=52
x=52/2
x=26
x+1=26+1=27
So,numbers are 26and 27
