Question

What two consecutive numbers have a sum of 53?

Answer 1

\[n+(n+1)=53\]Just solve for n :)

Answer 2

BTW: Obviously n will give you the first number...add +1 to get the second number.

Answer 3

what's the first number?

Answer 4

Did you solve this for n?

\[n+(n+1)=53\]

Answer 5

I don't remember how :(

Answer 6

n+(n+1)=53
n+n+1=53
2n+1=53
2n+1-1=53-1
2n=52
52\2=n
n=26
