Answer»

✬ Numbers = 10 & 22 ✬

Step-by-step EXPLANATION:

Given:

  • SUM of number and twice of its consecutive number is 32.

To FIND:

  • What are the TWO numbers ?

Solution: Let the number be x then its consecutive will be x + 1. Therefore,

[ Consecutive numbers : Those numbers which FOLLOW each other in order from smallest to largest. ]

➟ Twice the consecutive no. = 2(x + 1)

➟ Number + consecutive no. = 32

A/q

  • Sum is 32

\implies{\rm } x + 2(x + 1) = 32

\implies{\rm } x + 2x + 2 = 32

\implies{\rm } 3x + 2 = 32

\implies{\rm } 3x = 32 – 2

\implies{\rm } 3x = 30

\implies{\rm } x = 30/3

\implies{\rm } x = 10

So,

➬ Number is x = 10 and

➬ Consecutive number is 2(10 + 1) = 22
