Question

The sum of two consecutive numbers is 535

Answer 1

267 and 268

Explanation:

`n,\ n+1-\text{two consecutive numbers}\\\\535-\text{the sum}\\\\\bold{EQUATION:}\\\\n+(n+1)=535\\\\n+n+1=535\\\\2n+1=535\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\2n+1-1=535-1\\\\2n=534\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\(2n)/(2)=(534)/(2)\\\\n=267`
