Answer 1

Answer:

26 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x.

Since we know that they are consecutive numbers,

the other number is (x + 1)

Given, the sum of both the numbers is 53

We get,

$x+(x+1)=53$

$2x+1=53$

$2x=52$

$x=\frac{52}{2}= 26$

Thus the numbers are 26 (x) and 27 (x + 1)

Answer 2

The consecutive numbers are coming or happening one after the other.

Given: The sum of two consecutive numbers is 53.

Let two consecutive numbers be $x$ and $x+1$,

According to the given statement,

$x+x+1=53\\2x+1=53\\2x=52$

$x=\frac{52}{2}$

$x=26$

$x+1=26+1\\=27$

The two consecutive numbers are 26 and 27.
