the numbers on tow consecutively numbered gym lockers have a sum of 135.what are the locker numbers?
Let's assume that the first locker number is x. The next locker number will then be x+1.
According to the given information, the sum of the locker numbers is 135. So, we can write the equation:
x + (x+1) = 135
Simplifying the equation:
2x + 1 = 135
2x = 135 - 1
2x = 134
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 134 / 2
x = 67
So, the first locker number is 67, and the next consecutive locker number is 67+1 = 68.
Therefore, the locker numbers are 67 and 68.
