Two people's ages are x and x+1 and you want their sum to be 150?

x%2B%28x%2B1%29=150, just as you write. What are the three numbers you wrote after that? Are they choices to pick?

x%2Bx%2B1=150
2x=149
x=149%2F2
x=74%261%2F2

Give the original problem description so the answer can be more certain, or properly solvable.
