Exercise #2

The number after me is 2000. What number am I?

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine the number that comes immediately before 2000, we can use the property of consecutive integers, which differ by exactly 1.

  • Step 1: Identify the given number, which is 2000, and recognize we need the number preceding it.
  • Step 2: Subtract 1 from 2000, because consecutive numbers differ by one.
  • Step 3: Perform the subtraction: 20001=1999 2000 - 1 = 1999 .

Thus, the number that comes right before 2000 is 1999 1999 .

Answer

1999 1999

Exercise #3

The number after me is 4030. What number am I?

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the number that comes immediately before 4030 in a sequential series.

Step 1: Understand that consecutive numbers differ by one. If we have a number x x , the next number after x x is x+1 x + 1 .

Step 2: Given that 4030 is the number after the unknown number, we can set up the relationship:
Let the unknown number be x x , then:

x+1=4030 x + 1 = 4030

Step 3: Solve for x x by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation:

x=40301 x = 4030 - 1

Step 4: Perform the calculation:

x=4029 x = 4029

Therefore, the number you are looking for is 4029 4029 .

Answer

4029 4029
