Let's the name the first number x and the consecutive number x + 1. The sum of both of these numbers equals to 53.
We now have our equation:
x + x + 1 = 53
Now solve for x.
x + x + 1 = 53
2x + 1 = 53 <-- Combine like terms
2x = 52 <-- Subtract 1 from each side
x = 26
So, the first number is 26 and the second number is 27.

Step-by-step explanation:
I'm confused, what are you asking?
<span>The sign value for x is positive and for y is negative. In standard position, the x point is at the origin, so the value will be 0. The terminal side is the line that moves to create the angle. At -60 degrees, the terminal side will be in the minus side of the y axis.</span>
5 miles + 3 miles = 8 miles
8 miles out of 12 equals 8/12 = 1/3
so, your answer would be “he completed 1/3 of the total hike so far”
