call the first n. The second is then n+1 (since they're consecutive). The sum is 141
n + n+1 = 141
simplify.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its A
OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):
2n + 2 = 141 do the rest

its A
OpenStudy (anonymous):
omg its A right
OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):
n + n+1 = x
whatever x is in your case its 141
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its 4 question with 141!!
OpenStudy (agent0smith):

yes
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
n + n+1 = 141
so... simplify. You know n+n is 2n.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so its B
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
n+n+1 = 141
replace the n+n with 2n, what does the equation become?
OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):
x + (x + 1)

Replace ONLY the n+n with 2n. Change NOTHING else.
n+n +1 = 141
OpenStudy (anonymous):
omg so is it D
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
Yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so who should get the medal

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):
x+(x+1)=141
x+x+1=141
2x+1=141
-1 -1
2x=140
:)
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
@tHe_FiZiCx99 the question is not asking for that. See the options.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
omg omg omg omg
OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):
@agent0smith 2n + 1 = 141
Same, n is an unknown value it can be represented by any variable
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
@tHe_FiZiCx99 not my point. Look at your answer, 2x=140. Then look at the options.
