Let x represent one of the numbers and x+1, the next consecutive number. Set up the equation and solve:

x + x + 1 = 213 (next simplify)

2x + 1 = 213 (next subtract 1 from each side of the equation)

2x = 212 (next divide both sides by 2 to solve for x)

x = 106 (this is the first number, the next consecutive number is 107 {x+1})

106 + 107 = 213 (solution proved)
