Answer:
The two numbers are 84 and 85
Step-by-step explanation:
13^2 = 169
So let the first consecutive number = x
Let the second consecutive number = x + 1
13^2 = 13*13 = 169 Develop the equation
x + x + 1 = 169 Combine Like terms on the left
2x + 1 = 169 Subtract 1 on both sides.
2x = 169-1 Combine the terms on the right
2x = 168 Divide by 2
x = 168/2
x = 84
