The sum of 2 consecutive whole numbers is 206. What are the 2 numbers

Answer:

There are no two consecutive whole numbers that sum to 206 (See proof below)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first number be x

since the numbers are whole and consecutive, the second number must be (x + 1)

we are given that the number sum to 206

hence,

x + (x+1) = 206

x + x + 1 = 206

2x + 1 = 206  (subtract 1 from both sides)

2x = 206 - 1

2x = 205  (divide both sides by 2)

x  = 205/2 = 102.5  (NOT A WHOLE NUMBER)

if x = 102.5, then the second number must be

x + 1 = 102.5 + 1 + 103.5 (ALSO NOT A WHOLE NUMBER)

a+a+1=206

2a+1=206

a=102.5

103.5

I think there is a bug here. They can't be whole numbers.

Westkost [7]

Answer: The best estimate for the amount of money she saves to buy clothes = $ 562.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Who can Help???
rosijanka [135]









I'm not the best at writing, but I can try. so here's an idea:you can have as your scenario something like "On a vase shaped like a rectangular prism is a flower. Knowing that the stem of the flower is the diagonal of the prism, the diagonal of the base is 18 and the sinus of the angle between the stem and the diagonal(of the base) is 4/5, find the stem's length and the height of the vase"
