Numbers = _____ , _____​

Answer 1

Answer:

49 and 51

Step-by-step explanation:

check this out

let the no. be x

so another no. can be x + 2 or x-2

so x + x +2 =100

2x+2=100

x+1=50

x=49

so x+2 = 49+ 2 = 51

now check with x-2

x+x-2=100

2x=102

x=51

and x-2 = 51-2=49

Hope this suffice!✌

Answer 2

The numbers are 49,51

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first number be =x

then the second number=x+2

x+x+2=100

x+x=100-2

2x=98

x=98/2

x=49

first number is 49

49+2=51

so the second number is 51

49+51=100
