Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Sum of the numbers = 69

To find :

The numbers

Solution :

Let the Numbers be -

• One as x
• Second as (x + 1)

➨ x + (x + 1) = 69

➨ x + x + 1 = 69

➨ 2x + 1 = 69

➨ 2x = 69 - 1

➨ 2x = 68

➨ x = 68/2

➨ x = 34

One Number = 34

Second Number = (x + 1)

➨ 34 + 1

➨ 35

$\therefore$ The Numbers are 34 and 35.
