Answer:

The two numbers would be 57 and 58.

Explanation:

You can solve this problem using algebra. Use x to represent the smaller number and x + 1 to represent the greater number. You use x + 1 to represent the larger number because it is 1 more than the smaller number.

x + (x + 1) = 115

2x + 1 = 115

2x = 114

x = 57

Therefore, the numbers are 57 and 58. You can plug 57 into x + 1 to find the larger number.
