Question

THE SUM OF TWO CONSECUTIVE NUMBERS IS 53 THEN ONE OF THE NUMBERS IS

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x.

Then the other number us x + 1

x + (x + 1) = 53

2x + 1 = 53

2x = 53 -1

2x = 52

x = 52/2

x = 26.

So, therefore, 1st number (x) = 26

And the 2nd number is (x + 1) = 26 + 1 = 27

Answer: 26 and 27
