Two consecutive whole numbers is 57. What are the two numbers?(hint: Let n represent the first number. Then n + 1 is the next consecutive whole number.

28+29 = 57

Explanation:

n = first number

n+1 = second number

Add up those two items and set the result equal to 57. Solve for n.

first+second = 57

(n) + (n+1) = 57

2n+1 = 57

2n = 57-1

2n = 56

n = 56/2

n = 28

n+1 = 28+1 = 29

The two consecutive whole numbers are 28 and 29

28+29 = 57
