For two consecutive numbers :

let the first number is a, and of course the next number to it would be a+1

adding these two numbers: (a) + (a+1) = 97

then solve for a:

a+a+1=97
2a+1=97
2a=96
a=48


so the first number is 48 and the second number is the next one to it (49)

The two numbers are 48 and 49
