Question

Someone help me plsss

Answer 1

Answer:

69.5 and 70.5

Step-by-step explanation:

consecutive numbers mean they are one up from the other

- e.g. 2 and 3,

- 15 and 16

if the first one is x, we can write the second consecutive number as x + 1

The info tells us the sum of these two numbers is 140, so we can write an equation and solve for x.

x + (x + 1) = 140

2x + 1 = 140

2x = 139

x = 139/2 = 69.5

(now we find the next number)

69.5 + 1 = 70.5
