Question

Can anyone help. I really need it.

Answer 1

x+ (x+1) = 55

27, 28

Explanation:

Let x = first number

x+1 is the next consecutive number

x+ (x+1) = 55

Combine like terms

2x+1 = 55

Subtract 1 from each side

2x+1-1 = 55-1

2x = 54

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 54/2

x = 27

The numbers are 27 and 28
