one number exceeds another by 1. The sum of the number is 35. what are the numbers

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

for problems like this, it is best to assign a variable (like 'x') to the unknown number. so, lets call the unknown number x. now, what will the other number be in terms of x?

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

remember the question says that the other number exceeds this one by 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17 and 18 are the numbers.Am I Right asnaseer?

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

it is best to guide the asker of a question to the solution rather than just provide the answer directly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes,u provided that.So I just used it and find the answer.

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

:/

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

since you have provided the answer, you could at least explain to esther772 exactly how you got there.
