Answer:
237 and 238
Step-by-step explanation:
x+x+1 =475
2x+1=475
2x=474
x=237
237+1 = 238
237+238=475
Step-by-step explanation:
Need to FinD :
- We have to find the numbers.
[tex] \red {\frak{Given}} \begin{cases} & \sf{Two\ consecutive\ natural\ numbers.} \\ & \sf{The\ sum\ of\ the\ numbers\ is\ {\pmb{\sf{475}}}.} \end{cases}[/tex]
We know that,
- The sum of the two consecutive natural numbers is 475 and we're asked to find out the numbers. So, let the two consecutive natural numbers be x and x + 1.
Therefore,
[tex] \sf \dashrightarrow {x\ +\ x\ +\ 1\ =\ 475} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {2x\ +\ 1\ =\ 475} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {2x\ =\ 475\ -\ 1} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {2x\ =\ 474} \\ \\ \\ \sf \dashrightarrow {x\ =\ \dfrac{\cancel{474}}{\cancel{2}}} \\ \\ \\ \dashrightarrow {\underbrace{\boxed{\pink{\frak{x\ =\ 237.}}}}_{\sf \blue {\tiny{First\ number}}}} [/tex]
∴ Hence, the first number is 237. Now, let us find out the second number.
[tex]\rule{200}{3}[/tex]
Second NumbeR :
- x + 1
- 237 + 1
- 238
∴ Hence, the second number is 238.
