Step-by-step explanation:

chikafujiwara

If we say [tex]x[/tex] is the first number, then the next consecutive number will be [tex]x+1[/tex].

Using this, we can make an equation.

[tex]x+(x+1)=55[/tex]

[tex]2x+1=55[/tex]

[tex]2x=54[/tex]

[tex]x=27[/tex]

And so we know that the two consecutive numbers are 27 and 28.

Hope this helps.

頑張って!
