Question

The sum of two consecutive numbers is 61 .What are the numbers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the numbers be x and (x+1)

According to the question ,

x + (x + 1) = 61

2x + 1 = 61

2x = 61-1

2x = 60

x = 30

Therefore the number are

x= 30

(x+1) = 30+1 = 31

Answer 2

Answer :

• 30 and 31

Given :

• The sum of two consecutive numbers is 61.

To find :

• the numbers

Solution :

⇒ Let's find the numbers.

• First, let's create the equation.
• Then, let's solve it!!!

→ x + (x + 1) = 61

→ (x + x) + 1 = 61

→ 2x + 1  = 61

→ 2x = 61 - 1

→ 2x = 60

→ x = 60/2

→ x = 30

∴ x = 30

$\sf \to x = 30$

$\sf \to x + 1 = 30 + 1 = 31$

• Therefore, the numbers are 30 and 31.
