x = your first number

y = number trying to find

x+(x+1) = y

so for example, if the number youre trying to find is 25 (aka "Find two consecutive whole numbers whose sum equals 25"). Your equation would be.

x+x+1 = 25

2x = 25-1

2x = 24

x = 12

so your two answer set would be {12,13} (because yes...12+13=25)

Can all numbers be written as consecutive numbers?

Not all numbers can be expressed as the sum of consecutive integers. Only certain numbers, specifically those that can be represented in the form of ( n(n+1)/2 + k ) for some integers ( n ) and ( k ), can be written as a sum of consecutive integers. Additionally, even numbers can be expressed as a sum of two or more consecutive integers, while odd numbers can be expressed as a sum of at least three consecutive integers. Thus, while many numbers can be represented this way, not all can be.
