2. Verify whether x=-3 is a solution of the linear equation 10x+7=13-5x or. not. 3. If the sum of two consecutive numbers is 67, then find the numbers.

Question

Answer 1

###

is not a solution to the equation

. The two consecutive numbers are 33 and 34.

Answer 2

## Step 1: Substitute and Simplify### Substitute

into the equation

.

simplifies to

, which further simplifies to

.## Step 2: Check Equality### Since

, the equation is not true. Therefore,

is not a solution.## Step 3: Define Variables### Let the two consecutive numbers be

and

.## Step 4: Set up the Equation### The sum of the two consecutive numbers is 67, so

.## Step 5: Solve for n### Simplify the equation to

. Subtract 1 from both sides:

. Divide both sides by 2:

.## Step 6: Find the Second Number### The second number is

.
