Question

The sum of two consecutive numbers is 131. What are the two numbers? A. 64 and 65 B. 64 and 67 C. 65 and 66 D. 130 and 131

Answer 1

Subtract 1:

131-1 =130

Divide by 2:

130/2 = 65

First number is 65

For the second number take the first number and add the 1 that you originally subtracted:

Second number : 65 + 1 = 66

The numbers are 65 + 66 = 131
