Answer 1

✪ Question ✪

The sum of two consecutive numbers is 53. One of the numbers is ??

✪ Given ✪

Sum = 53

✪ To find ✪

The numbers.

✪ Solution ✪

Let the numbers are x and (x+1).

According to condition,

x + (x+1) = 53

⇒x + x + 1 = 53

⇒2x + 1 = 53

⇒2x = 53 - 1

⇒2x = 52

⇒x = 52/2

⇒x = 26

✪ Hence ✪

x = 26

One number = x = 26

Other number = (x+1) = (26+1) = 27

✪ Therefore ✪

The numbers are 26 and 27.

-------------------------------------------------------------

✪ Verification ✪

x + (x+1) = 53

⇒26 + 27 = 53

⇒53 = 53

So, L.H.S = R.H.S.

Hence, verified.
