Question

Base your answer on Betty is thinking of two consecutive integers whose sum is 41.

Answer 1

Answer:

let the numbers be, x and x+1 ( as it is consecutive number the next number will have 1 more than the number )

sum = 41

so, x + ( x + 1 ) = 41

      x + x + 1 = 41

        2x + 1 = 41

             2x = 41 -1 = 40

              2x = 40

                x = 40/2 = 20

x = 20

x + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21

so the consecutive numbers whose sum is 40 are, 20 and 21
