Question

the sum of two constitutive whole numbers is 53. the smaller no is??

Answer 1

Hola Mate !!

Here's your answer :-

Let the smaller consecutive no. be x.
& the larger consecutive no. be x + 1.

ATQ :-
(x) + (x + 1) = 53
=> 2x + 1 = 53
=> 2x = 53 - 1
=> 2x = 52
=> x = 52/2
=> x = 26

So, the smaller no. is 26.
