hi there!
\n" ); document.write( "well,
\n" ); document.write( "we are given that the numbers are x and x+1.
\n" ); document.write( "we are also old that their sum equals to 133.
\n" ); document.write( "using this condition we can get the equation that
\n" ); document.write( "x + (x+1) = 133
\n" ); document.write( "therefore,
\n" ); document.write( "x+x+1 = 133
\n" ); document.write( "therefore,
\n" ); document.write( "2x+ 1 = 133
\n" ); document.write( "therefore,
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 133-1
\n" ); document.write( "therefore,
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 132
\n" ); document.write( "therefore.
\n" ); document.write( "x = 132/2
\n" ); document.write( "therefore,
\n" ); document.write( " x= 66
\n" ); document.write( "therefore,
\n" ); document.write( " x+1= 66+1
\n" ); document.write( "that is,
\n" ); document.write( " x+1= 67
\n" ); document.write( "thereforre the two numbers are 67\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "note- this numerical can be solved by using the track of linar equations in two variables, that is greater number as x and smaller one as y as we are given two conditions.
\n" ); document.write( "but since we are given that the greater number is x+1 and the smaller number is x, we have chosen this way, of using a single x variable. thus, the sum can be accomplished even with a single condition. if any further clarification is required u're welcme\r
