Question

what is the possible anwser to the consecutive sum 22.

Answer 1

Let first number = x

It's consecutive number is x+1.

It's sum is x+x+1 = 22

2x+1 = 22

Subtract 1 from each side.

2x = 22-1

2x = 21

Divide to each side by 2.

2x/2 = 21/2

x = 21/2

x = 10.5

Second number 10.5+1 = 11.5.

The possible answer is 11.5 and 10.5.
