Two conscutive natural numbers whose sum is 85.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the numbers be x and x+1

x + x + 1 = 85

2x + 1 = 85

2x = 84

x = 42

x + 1 = 42 + 1 = 43

So the numbers are 42 and 43

Verification :-

42 + 43 = 85

Hope it helps....

Answer 2

Correct question :

Sum of two consecutive natural numbers is 85, find the numbers.

Solution :

Let the numbers be x, x+1

According to the question,

=> x + x + 1 = 85

=> 2x + 1 = 85

=> 2x = 85 - 1

=> 2x = 84

=> x = 84/2

=> x = 42

Therefore, two numbers are 42 and 43.
