Question

The sum of two consecutive numbers is 1107. what are those numbers PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!

Answer 1

These numbers can be presented as n and n + 1 = 1107

2n = 1106 because we combine the n terms and subtract 1 from each side.

2n ÷ 2 = n

1106 ÷ 2 = 553

We now know that n = 553.

Our second consecutive integer must be 554. This is because our second

consecutive integer represents n + 1 so 553 + 1 =554.

Therefore, are two consecutive integers are 553 and 554.  

Answer 2

$\huge{\boxed{553}}\ \ \huge{\boxed{554}}$

The numbers can be represented as $x$ and $x+1$.

We know that $x+x+1=1107$.

Combine like terms. $2x+1=1107$

Subtract 1 on both sides. $2x=1106$

Divide both sides by 2. $x=553$

The first number is $x$, which equals $\boxed{553}$.

The second number is $x+1$, which equals $553+1$, which is $\boxed{554}$.
