Answer:
5 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two consecutive numbers be x and x + 1
=> x + x + 1 = 11
=> 2x + 1 = 11
=> 2x = 11 - 1
=> 2x = 10
=> x = 5
So other number is (5 + 1) = 6
Hence two required consecutive numbers are 5 and 6

The answer for the question follows...
Pls mark me the brainliest....
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x.
Then, the 2nd consecutive number will be x+1.
Sum of consecutive numbers = 11.
So, x + x + 1 = 11
2x + 1 = 11
2x = 11 - 1 = 10
2x = 10
x = 10/2 = 5
Therefore, the first number = 5
Then, the 2nd consecutive number =5 + 1 = 6.
Checking:
6+5=11
So, the two consecutive numbers are 6 and 5.
