Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
Given, one of the consecutive number = x
Then, the next consecutive number = x + 1
According to the question,
x + x + 1 = 93
⇒ 2x = 93 – 1 ...[Transposing 1 to RHS]
⇒ 2x = 92
⇒ `(2x)/2 = 92/2` ...[Dividing both sides by 2]
∴ x = 46
Hence, the other consecutive number
= 46 + 1
= 47
= 93 – 46
= 93 – x
