Answer 1

HEY COULD YALL HELP ME ON fashiongirl08092002's question

Answer 2

x + (x+2) = 20
x + x + 2 = 20
(x + x = 2x) + 2 = 20
2x + 2 = 20
2x + 2 - 2 = 20 - 2
2x = 18
2x/2 = 18/2

x = 9

The value of x is 9 so the first number is 9, the second is 11.

P.S. Formula for finding 2 ODD consecutive numbers are x + (x+2)

Answer 3

Let x represent the number(s).
