✪ 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.
