Answer 1

5423875

Explanation:

Answer 2

Represent your numbers as follows.

X ⇒ first number

X + 1 ⇒ second number

Since their sum is 91, we have x + (x + 1) = 91.

Solving from here, simplify on the left side to get 2x + 1 = 91.

Subtract 1 from both sides to get 2x = 90.

Now divide both sides by 2 and x = 45.

So if x = 45, then x + 1 must be 46.

So our numbers are 45 and 46.
