By Question it's given that the sum of two numbers is 15 . And we need to find out the numbers. So ,

Let us take :-

  • First number = x
  • Second number = x + 1

According to the Question :-


\sf\implies x + x +1=15\\\\\sf\implies 2x = 15-1\\\\\sf\implies 2x =14 \\\\\sf\implies x =14/2 \\\\\sf\implies\red{ x = 7 }

Therefore :-

  • First number = 7
  • Second number = 8

Hence the two numbers are 7 and 8.
