Question

write two consecutive whole number of 299​

Answer 1

Answer:

x+x+1=299

2x+1=299

2x=298

x=298/2

x=149

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 299. We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 299. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 299

To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 299

3X + 3 = 299

3X + 3 - 3 = 299 - 3

3X = 296

3X/3 = 296/3

X = 98 2/3

Since 98 2/3 is not an integer, there is no true answer to this problem.

However, there are three numbers that add up to 299. The first number is (98 2/3), the second number is (98 2/3) + 1, and the third number is (98 2/3) + 2. Therefore, we could make this the answer to "Three consecutive numbers that add up to 299 are?":

98 2/3 + 99 2/3 + 100 2/3 = 299
