Question

One number is one more than another. Their sum is fifteen. Find both numbers.

The smaller number is __ and the larger number is __.

Answer 1

The answer to your question is: 7 and 8

Explanation:

One number = n

one more than another = n + 1

Their sum n + n + 1 = 15

2n = 15 - 1

2n = 14

n = 14/2

n = 7

n + 1 = 8
