Question

The sum of two consecutive numbers is n+1. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

let the first be x
then the next is x+1

x + x+1 = n+1
2x = n
x = n/2

the numbers are <b>n/2</b> and n/2+1 or <b>(n+2)/2</b> , where n is an even number.

e.g. let n = 6
then x = 3, and (n+2)/2 = 4
their sum is 7 OR n+1 which is also 7

Answer 2

So bad
