Answer 2

There are two consecutive whole number is 16 and 17 .

Step-by-step explanation:

let's we have first no. is x

so, the second number is x+1

We know sum of these number is 33

so , x + x+1 =33

2x + 1 = 33

2x = 33 - 1

2x =32

x = 32÷2

x = 16

so first number is 16 and second number is x+1 = 16 + 1 = 17

Hence the two consecutive whole number is 16 and 17
