The correct Answer is:
To find two consecutive natural numbers whose sum is 63, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let the first natural number be \( x \). Since we are looking for consecutive natural numbers, the second natural number will be \( x + 1 \). ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation According to the problem, the sum of these two consecutive natural numbers is 63. Therefore, we can write the equation: \[ x + (x + 1) = 63 \] ### Step 3: Simplify the Equation Now, simplify the left side of the equation: \[ x + x + 1 = 63 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x + 1 = 63 \] ### Step 4: Isolate the Variable Next, we need to isolate \( x \). We can do this by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation: \[ 2x + 1 - 1 = 63 - 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x = 62 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( x \) Now, divide both sides by 2 to solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{62}{2} \] This gives us: \[ x = 31 \] ### Step 6: Find the Consecutive Number Now that we have the first natural number, we can find the second consecutive number: \[ x + 1 = 31 + 1 = 32 \] ### Step 7: Conclusion The two consecutive natural numbers whose sum is 63 are: \[ 31 \text{ and } 32 \]
