Question

14. The sum of two consecutive numbers is 73. What are the numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Consecutive numbers can be written as such:
n + (n + 1) = 73

Open the parentheses and simplify:
2n + 1 = 73

Subtract 1 from both sides:
2n = 72

Divide both sides by 2:
n = 36

The numbers are 36 and 37
