Answer 2

Answer:

40 and 39

Step by step explanation.

Let's assume the two numbers as x and y respectively.

Now

79 × x + y

The question says that these are consecutive numbers.

So, we can say

79 = x + x+1

= 79 = 2x + 1

= 2x = 79 + 1

= 2x = 80

= x = 40

So, y = 40

Therefore x = 40 - 1

= x = 39.
