Question

The sum of two consecutive numbers is 25. What is the largest of the consecutive numbers?

Answer 1

15

Answer 2

The sum of two consecutive numbers is 25
So let the numbers be x, x+1
Because the question says the sum of two consecutive numbers
That means x + (x+1) = 25
x+ x+ 1 = 25
2x +1 = 25
Subtract 1 from both sides!
2x = 25-1
2x = 24
Divide both sides by 2
x= 24/ 2
therefore x= 12
So the larger number would be (x+1)
SOOOO 12+1 = 13
Your larger number would be 13 :)
