Problema Solution
The number on two consecutive numbered gym lockers have a sum of 119. What are the locker numbers?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'n' represent the number on one gym locker, then 'n+1' represents the number on the next consecutively-numbered gym locker
119 = n + n+ 1
2n = 118
n = 118/2 = 59
59+1 = 60
the lockers are numbers 59 and 60
