What is an algebraic expression?

An algebraic expression can be defined as an expression that is composed of terms, variables, coefficients, factors and constants.

They are also known to be composed of mathematical operations such as;

• Subtraction
• Addition
• Multiplication
• Division
• Bracket
• Parentheses, etc

From the information given , we have;

x + 1 + x + 2 = 143

collect like terms

2x = 143 - 3

Subtract like terms

2x = 140

Make 'x' the subject

x = 140/2

x = 70

The numbers are;

x + 1  = 70 + 1  = 71

x + 2 = 70 + 2 = 72

Hence, the numbers are 71 and 72
