The numbers are 36 and 37.  To solve this, we need to make an equation. If we all the smaller number to be [tex]x[/tex], then the larger number is [tex]x+1[/tex]. We now know that [tex](x)+(x+1)=73[/tex]
[tex]2x+1=73[/tex]  [tex]2x=72[/tex]  [tex]x=36[/tex]
So you know that x is the smaller number, and to find the bigger number you must add one, so the two numbers are 36 and 37

The two consecutive numbers that add to equal 73 are: 36 and 37

36+37=73

You can solve this by first dividing 73 by 2.
73/2=36.5

Next take .5 away from 36.5 and then separately add .5 to 36.5 to get your answer: 36 and 37
