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)

Answer:

102.5, 103.5

Step-by-step explanation:

a+a+1=206

2a+1=206

2a=205

a=102.5

103.5

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

So we have:

xk = v + w           solve for x
divide both sides by k to isolate the variable x:

x = (v+w)/k

^^This is your answer!
