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.

How to prepare on earth quake   Good Day... Earthquake is inevitable to happen. In the Philippines, the only time you know that there is an earthquake, is when the ground is already shaking. There is no device that can predict when will earthquake occur although seismograph is a device used to record and detect surface wave and body which will be released during earthquake. There are 4 types of wave that will be released during earthquake such as p-wave, s-wave, love wave and rayleigh waves. P-wave is the fastest, Japan will automatic sound the alarm when the seismograph detect a p-wave which give them a couple of seconds to prepare before ground shaking occur. Before Earthquake: 1. Increased awareness on what to do before earthquake occur. 2. Preparing survival kit ready just in case earthquake will happen. 3. Identify safe places and open space and take note of them. Always look for the evacuation plan upon entering a mall. 4. Have a list of emergency numbers to easily contact
