Answer:
4 and 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's make an equation to solve. Let's call "one number" x. Another number is 1 more than x, so now we have x + 1. x plus x + 1 is equal to 9... and this gives us our equation:
x + (x + 1) = 9
We can now simplify by adding like terms together:
2x + 1 = 9
Now, let's take away 1 from both sides:
2x = 8
We can finally divide both sides by 2 to isolate x:
x = 4
One of our numbers is 4. Our other number is one more than 4, and 4 + 1 = 5. So our numbers are 4 and 5.
