Question

If the sum of two consecutive numbers is 125 then the smallest numbers is​

Answer 1

Question:-

if the sum of two consecutive numbers is 125 then the smallest number is?

Answer:-

62

Explanation:-

Let the first number be x

Let the second number be x+1

=> x + x + 1 = 125

=> 2x + 1 = 125

=> 2x = 125-1

=> 2x = 124

=> x = 124/2

=> x = 62

First number = 62

Second number = x+1 = 62+1 = 63

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\sf 62}`

Explanation:

Let the two consecutive numbers be x and x + 1.

Given condition is:

x + x + 1 = 125

2x + 1 = 125

Subtract 1 to both sides

2x = 125 - 1

2x = 124

Divide 2 to both sides

x = 62

So, the numbers are:

x = 62

x + 1 = 62 + 1 = 63

So, the smallest number is 62.

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`
