Answer:
100 and 101
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Let x be equal to the smaller number.
Let x + 1 be equal to the larger number, which is consecutive to the smaller number.
We are given that the sum of the two numbers is 201:
[tex]x+(x+1)=201\\x+x+1=201\\2x+1=201\\2x=200\\x=100[/tex]
Therefore, the smaller number is 100. Because the larger number is x + 1, it is 101.
I hope this helps!
