Answer 1

cheeseburgers

Answer 2

consecutive means one number right after the other one.
So lets let one number be x and the other number be x + 1.

x + x + 1 = 37 -- combine like terms
2x + 1 = 37 -- subtract 1
2x = 36 -- divide by 2
x = 18

x + 1 = 18 + 1 = 19

check..
18 + 19 = 36
36 = 36 (correct)

your 2 numbers are 18 and 19
