Answer:_______________ |
1) The sum of 2 consecutive integers is 49. Find the numbers. Answer: 24 Answer: 25 SOLUTION 1 : Let the required number be x. ⇒ 2 times = 2x Given: x + (x + !) = 49 ⇒ x + x +1 = 49 ( Grouping the like terms ) ⇒ (x + x) + 1 = 49 2x = 49 - 1 ( on transposing +1 becomes - 1 ) 2x = 48 = ( Dividing both the sides by 2 ) x = 24. x + 1 = 24 + 1 = 25 Hence, the consecutive numbers are 24 and 25. |
2) The sum of 2 consecutive integers is 53. Find the numbers. Answer: 26 Answer: 27 SOLUTION 1 : Let the required number be y. ⇒ 2 times = 2y Given: y + (y + !) = 53 ⇒ y + y +1 = 53 ( Grouping the like terms ) ⇒ (y + y) + 1 = 53 2y = 53 - 1 ( on transposing +1 becomes - 1 ) 2y = 52 = ( Dividing both the sides by 2 ) y = 26. y + 1 = 26 + 1 = 27 Hence, the consecutive numbers are 26 and 27. |
3) The sum of 2 consecutive integers is 21. Find the numbers. Answer: 10 Answer: 11 SOLUTION 1 : Let the required number be x. ⇒ 2 times = 2x Given: x + (x + !) = 21 ⇒ x + x +1 = 21 ( Grouping the like terms ) ⇒ (x + x) + 1 = 21 2x = 21 - 1 ( on transposing +1 becomes - 1 ) 2x = 20 = ( Dividing both the sides by 2 ) x = 10. x + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11 Hence, the consecutive numbers are 10 and 11. |
4) The sum of 2 consecutive integers is 27. Find the numbers. Answer: 13 Answer: 14 SOLUTION 1 : Let the required number be y. ⇒ 2 times = 2y Given: y + (y + !) = 27 ⇒ y + y +1 = 27 ( Grouping the like terms ) ⇒ (y + y) + 1 = 27 2y = 27 - 1 ( on transposing +1 becomes - 1 ) 2y = 26 = ( Dividing both the sides by 2 ) y = 13. y + 1 = 13 + 1 = 14 Hence, the consecutive numbers are 13 and 14. |
5) The sum of 2 consecutive integers is 59. Find the numbers. Answer: 29 Answer: 30 SOLUTION 1 : Let the required number be y. ⇒ 2 times = 2y Given: y + (y + !) = 59 ⇒ y + y +1 = 59 ( Grouping the like terms ) ⇒ (y + y) + 1 = 59 2y = 59 - 1 ( on transposing +1 becomes - 1 ) 2y = 58 = ( Dividing both the sides by 2 ) y = 29. y + 1 = 29 + 1 = 30 Hence, the consecutive numbers are 29 and 30. |
6) The sum of 2 consecutive integers is 31. Find the numbers. Answer: 15 Answer: 16 SOLUTION 1 : Let the required number be x. ⇒ 2 times = 2x Given: x + (x + !) = 31 ⇒ x + x +1 = 31 ( Grouping the like terms ) ⇒ (x + x) + 1 = 31 2x = 31 - 1 ( on transposing +1 becomes - 1 ) 2x = 30 = ( Dividing both the sides by 2 ) x = 15. x + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16 Hence, the consecutive numbers are 15 and 16. |
7) The sum of 2 consecutive integers is 41. Find the numbers. Answer: 20 Answer: 21 SOLUTION 1 : Let the required number be y. ⇒ 2 times = 2y Given: y + (y + !) = 41 ⇒ y + y +1 = 41 ( Grouping the like terms ) ⇒ (y + y) + 1 = 41 2y = 41 - 1 ( on transposing +1 becomes - 1 ) 2y = 40 = ( Dividing both the sides by 2 ) y = 20. y + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21 Hence, the consecutive numbers are 20 and 21. |
8) The sum of 2 consecutive integers is 57. Find the numbers. Answer: 28 Answer: 29 SOLUTION 1 : Let the required number be x. ⇒ 2 times = 2x Given: x + (x + !) = 57 ⇒ x + x +1 = 57 ( Grouping the like terms ) ⇒ (x + x) + 1 = 57 2x = 57 - 1 ( on transposing +1 becomes - 1 ) 2x = 56 = ( Dividing both the sides by 2 ) x = 28. x + 1 = 28 + 1 = 29 Hence, the consecutive numbers are 28 and 29. |
9) The sum of 2 consecutive integers is 25. Find the numbers. Answer: 12 Answer: 13 SOLUTION 1 : Let the required number be x. ⇒ 2 times = 2x Given: x + (x + !) = 25 ⇒ x + x +1 = 25 ( Grouping the like terms ) ⇒ (x + x) + 1 = 25 2x = 25 - 1 ( on transposing +1 becomes - 1 ) 2x = 24 = ( Dividing both the sides by 2 ) x = 12. x + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13 Hence, the consecutive numbers are 12 and 13. |
10) The sum of 2 consecutive integers is 35. Find the numbers. Answer: 17 Answer: 18 SOLUTION 1 : Let the required number be y. ⇒ 2 times = 2y Given: y + (y + !) = 35 ⇒ y + y +1 = 35 ( Grouping the like terms ) ⇒ (y + y) + 1 = 35 2y = 35 - 1 ( on transposing +1 becomes - 1 ) 2y = 34 = ( Dividing both the sides by 2 ) y = 17. y + 1 = 17 + 1 = 18 Hence, the consecutive numbers are 17 and 18. |
