Answer 1

Explanation:

Let x, and x+1 be the consecutive numbers.

`x + (x + 1) = 37`

`2x + 1 = 37`

`2x = 36`

`x = 18`

Plug in 18 for x+1,

`18 + 1 = 19`

So the numbers is 18,19

Answer 2

18 and 19

Explanation:

if you have two consecutive numbers, then using algebra, one unknown number is x and the other unknown consecutive number is x + 1

The equation x + x + 1 = 37

To solve this equation subtract 1 from both sides as one does in algebra.

x + x + 1 = 37 → x + x + 1 - 1 = 37 - 1

Now you have the equation x + x = 36

This can rewrite this as 2x = 36 2x means 2 times the value of x

To solve this part of the equation divide both sides by 2

2x / 2 = 36 / 2

x = 18

The next consecutive number x + 1 = 19, (18) + 1 = 19

check this by adding. 18 + 19 = 37.
