Question

write 11 as the sum of two consecutive natural numbers.

Answer 1

let number be x and x+1
x+x+1=11
2x=10
x=5
numbers are 5,6

Answer 2

Answer:

The two numbers are 5 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to find the two consecutive natural numbers whose sum is 11.

Let the two consecutive numbers are

$x, x+1$

The sum of two consecutive natural numbers is 11.

$x+(x+1)=11$

$2x+1=11$

$2x=11-1=10$

Divide above equation throughout by 2

$x=\frac{10}{2}=5$

The two consecutive natural numbers are

$x=5$

$x+1=5+1=6$

Hence, the two numbers are 5 and 6
