Question

find two consecutive whole number such that five times the greater number makes 59 hint let the number be x and x + 1​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the smaller number = x

Let the larger number = x + 1

5*(x + 1) = 59

You can do this. The problem says that when the larger number is multiplied by 5, you get 59. You are also told that the numbers are whole numbers. 59 divided by 5 leaves a remainder which is not a whole number.
