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.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AB was dilated by scale factor of 2 to create A'B'.

Connect points A and A' with a straight line, connect points B and B' with a straight line. The point where these two straight lines will intersect is the center of dilation.

As you can see, these lines intersect at point M, so, point M is the center of dilation.
