Question

The sum of two consecutive numbers is 56. Find them.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the smaller odd number be x ,then the next consecutive odd number will be x+2

(Consecutive odd numbers differ by 2)

Then according to the question,

x+x+2=56

2x=56−2=54

x=27

x+2=29

The numbers are 27 and 29

Step-by-step explanation:

given sum of two number is 56 . therefore 1 consecutive odd number is 27 . so, the two numbers is 27 and 29

hope will be helpful ☺️

What are consecutive numbers?

Ans:- Consecutive numbers are those numbers which follow each other continuously. Eg:- 1, 2, 3, etc.

• Let the consecutive numbesr be x, x + 2

• Given That the sum of x, x + 2 = 56

• Equation :- x + x + 2 = 56

• 2x + 2 = 56

• 2x = 56 - 2

• 2x = 54

• x = $\bf \frac{54}{2}$

• x = 27

First number = x = 27

2nd Number = x + 2 =27 + 2 = 29
