Question

Find two consecutive numbers whose sum is 115

Answer 1

Let the first consecutive number be
`n` then,


`n + (n+1) = 115`, since they are consecutive, n+1 is the next number.

`2n+1=115 \Rightarrow 2n = 114 \Rightarrow n=57`

Hence the two consecutive numbers that sum to 115 are 57 and 58.
