Question

The sum of two consecutive whole numbers is 53 the greater number ​

Answer 1

Answer:

So 2x + 1 = 53, 2x = 52, and x = 26. X+1 = 27. So, 26 and 27. (And you should have said “The sum of two consecutive whole NUMBERS.)

Answer 2

Answer:

The sum of two consecutive whole numbers is 53

take first number as X and second number as X+1

so

X+X+1=53

2X+1=53

2X=53-1=52

X=52/2=26

X=26

X+1=27
