2x + 1 = 23

2x = 22

x = 11

Therefore, the numbers are 11 and 12.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let us suppose one of the number be y

so the other number is y+1

As given in the question,

${ \huge{y + y + 1 = 23}} \\ \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: { \huge{2y + 1 = 23}} \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ { \huge{2y = 22}} \\ \\ \\ \\ { \huge{y = 11}}$

One of the number is 11 and the other is 12
