What is the sum of two consecutive numbers is 75?

Answer 1

Let's represent the two consecutive numbers as x and x+1. The sum of these two numbers is x + (x+1) = 2x + 1. Given that the sum is 75, we have the equation 2x + 1 = 75. Solving for x, we find x = 37. Therefore, the two consecutive numbers are 37 and 38, and their sum is indeed 75.

Answer 2

x + x + 1 = 75

2x + 1 = 75

2x = 75 -1

2x = 74

x = 37

Therefore the two numbers are 37 and 38.
