Sum Of Two Numbers Is 29 And One Number Is More Than Other.Then What Is The Smallest Number

Sum of two numbers is 29 and one number is more than other.then what is the smallest number

 

Answer:

The value of the smallest number 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Let x be the first number

        x + 1 be the second number

Solution:

x + (x + 1) = 29

2x + 1 = 29

2x + 1 - 1 = 29 - 1   (subtraction property of equality)

2x = 28

2x = 28         (division property of equality)

2       2

x = 14

x = 14, is the first number

x + 1 = 14  +1 = 15 , is the second number

Lets do checking if we get the correct value.

14 + 15 = 29

29 = 29

Therefore, the value of the smallest number 14.
