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)
