Answer 1

The sum of two consecutive number is 55'which is the largest number? So the numbers are 27 and 28.

Explanation:

Answer 2

If we say
`x` is the first number, then the next consecutive number will be
`x+1`.

Using this, we can make an equation.

`x+(x+1)=55`

`2x+1=55`

`2x=54`

`x=27`

And so we know that the two consecutive numbers are 27 and 28.

Hope this helps.
