Answer:
1st number = 17
2nd number = 18
Explanation:
Unknown number = x
Since they are consecutive numbers, we add 1 to each other.
=> x + x + 1 = 35
=> 2x + 1 = 35
=> 2x + 1 - 1 = 35 - 1
=> 2x = 34
=> 2x/2 = 34/2
=> x = 17
So, the first number = x = 17
=> Second number = x + 1 = 17 + 1 = 18
1st number = 17
2nd number = 18
