First, we can represent the numbers as n and n + 1 = 25
<h2>n + n + 1 = 25</h2><h2 /><h2>Next, we can combine like terms.</h2><h2 /><h2>2n + 1 = 25</h2><h2 /><h2>Subtract 2 from both sides.</h2><h2 /><h2>2n = 24</h2><h2 /><h2>2n ÷ 2 = n</h2><h2>24 ÷ 2 = 12</h2><h2 /><h2>If we know that 12 is n, n + 1 would be equal to 12 + 1 so the largest consecutive number is 13.</h2>
