Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
We can represent the equation like this:
x + (x + 1) = 51, where x is a number and x + 1 is the consecutive number.
Solve for x.
Add the x's together.
2x + 1 = 51
Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.
2x = 50
Divide 2 on both sides of the equation.
x = 25
So, the numbers are 25 and 26.
25 + 26 = 51
