Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
We can represent the equation like this:
x + (x + 1) = 51, where <em>x</em> is a number and <em>x + 1</em> is the consecutive number.
Solve for x.
<u>Add the x's together.</u>
2x + 1 = 51
<u>Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation.</u>
2x = 50
<u>Divide 2 on both sides of the equation.</u>
x = 25
<em><u>So, the numbers are 25 and 26.</u></em>
25 + 26 = 51
