There are no two consecutive whole numbers that sum to 142.With two consecutive whole numbers, one is even and the other odd, and their sum will be odd, but 142 is even.Two consecutive even numbers that sum to 142 are 70 and 72.
There are no four consecutive whole numbers that add up to 35. The sum of two consecutive [whole] numbers is an even number plus an odd number which is an odd number. The sum of two consecutive numbers and the two next consecutive numbers is the sum of two odd numbers which is even, but 35 is odd, so no four consecutive whole numbers cannot add up to 35.
The sum of any two consecutive whole numbers is always odd, and equal to one more than twice the first number (2x+1).
Consecutive whole numbers will have an odd sum. Consecutive odd numbers, or consecutive prime numbers, will be 29 and 31.
The three consecutive whole numbers you are looking for are 1, 2, and 3. The sum of the first two numbers, 1 + 2 = 3.
There are no two consecutive whole numbers that sum to 142.With two consecutive whole numbers, one is even and the other odd, and their sum will be odd, but 142 is even.Two consecutive even numbers that sum to 142 are 70 and 72.
There are no four consecutive whole numbers that add up to 35. The sum of two consecutive [whole] numbers is an even number plus an odd number which is an odd number. The sum of two consecutive numbers and the two next consecutive numbers is the sum of two odd numbers which is even, but 35 is odd, so no four consecutive whole numbers cannot add up to 35.
It is called a whole consecutive number.
The sum of any two consecutive whole numbers is always odd, and equal to one more than twice the first number (2x+1).
Consecutive whole numbers will have an odd sum. Consecutive odd numbers, or consecutive prime numbers, will be 29 and 31.
The three consecutive whole numbers you are looking for are 1, 2, and 3. The sum of the first two numbers, 1 + 2 = 3.
The sum of any two consecutive whole numbers must be odd. 158 is not odd. Therefore the question has no valid answer.
The numbers are: 48+49 = 97
Correct!
"Two consecutive numbers" implies that these are whole numbers. Consecutive whole numbers have different parity - that is to say that one is odd and the other even, which means that their sum must be odd. Since 38 is even the problem has no solution.
Since one of the numbers will be even and the other odd, the sum will always be odd.
7 and 8. You know that the sum of any two consecutive whole numbers, x and x +1, is 2x +1 2x + 1 = 15 2x = 14 x = 7
