Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

let the 1 number be = x

so 2 n.o be = x + 1 by they are consecutive

now , add them

x + x+1 = 56

2x = 56 -1

x = 55/2

x =27.5

second n.o is x + 1

= 27.5 + 1

28.5

Answer 2

Answer:

let two consecutive no. be x and 2x

x + x+2 = 56

2x+2=56

2x=56-2

2x=54

x=54%2

x=27

first consecutive no. is x= 27 and second is x+2=27+2=29

hope it helps you...
