Question

The sum of two consecutive numbers is 86. Form an equation in one variable ​

Answer 1

Answer:

42.5, 43.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Then its consecutive number will be x+1

The equation will be as follows:

(x) + (x+1) = 86

x+x+1 = 86

2x +1= 86

2x= 86-1

2x=85

x=85/2

x= 42.5

Hence the two consecutive numbers are:

x= 42.5

x+1= 43.5
