The sum of two consecutive whole numbers is 57. What is the value of the greater of the two numbers

1 answer:

5 0

$n,\ n+1-\text{ two consecutive whole numbers}\\57-\text{the sum}\\\\n+n+1=57\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\2n=56\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\n=28\\\\n+1=28+1=29\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{\text{The greater of the two numbers is 29}}$

2L+2W=157.5
L=W-30
2(W-30)+2W=157.5
2W-60+2W=157.5
+60 +60
4w=217.5
W=54.4(.37 rounded to nearest tenth)
L=24.4
