Question

Q.If the sum of two consecutive numbers 93 and one of them is x then other number is

93-x. (TRUE/FALSE)

Answer 1

Dear student,

It is true. Consecutive numbers are continuous numbers, for example 3 and 4, 25 and 26.

Given the sum is 93. Also given one number is x.

Let us assume the second number be 93-x. Adding x and 93-x,

x+(93-x)= x-x+93= 93.

Which is the first condition (sum=93). Therefore, the given statement is true.

Let me also help you to find those numbers. Let the first number be x. As the second number is the next number after x, we can write it as x+1.

So we have x and (x+1).

Given x+(x+1)=93
=x+x+1=93
=2x+1=93

Subtracting 1 on both sides:

=2x+1-1=93-1
=2x=92
Dividing both sides by 2:

2x/2=92/2
=X=92/2= 46.

So x=46.
So next number is 46+1=47.
