Question

6. The sum of two consecutive numbers is 37. What are they?

Answer 1

18 and 19

==============

Let the first number be x, then the second number is x+1.

The sum of these two numbers is:

• x + (x+1) = 37

Simplifying the equation gives us:

• 2x + 1 = 37

Subtracting 1 from both sides gives us:

• 2x = 36

Dividing both sides by 2 gives us:

• x = 18

Therefore, the two consecutive numbers are 18 and 19.
