Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
like my answer please...
Let s = the smaller one of the two.
Since they are consecutive, the second one is (s + 1)
Since they are natural numbers, they cannot be negative.
We know that s(s + 1) = s + (s + 1) + 155
So:
s(s + 1) = 2s + 156
s^2 + s = 2s + 156
s^2 - s - 156 = 0
(s - 13)(s + 12) = 0
From this, it looks like s can be either 13 or -12. But since it's a natural number, it cannot be negative. So, it is 13.
s was the smaller one. The larger one is s + 1 = 14
Check: 13*14=182=13+14+155
Answer:
-12m-m9m+11
hope this helps
have a good day :)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be x and y
x + y = 44 ...........(i)
x - y = 16 ............(ii)
Add equations (i) and (ii)
x + y + x - y = 44 + 16
2x = 60
2x = 60
x = 60/2 = 30
Recall x + y = 44
30 + y = 44
y = 44 - 30
y = 14
Large Number = 30
Small Number = 16
