[tex]\huge{\boxed{47}}\ \ \huge{\boxed{48}}[/tex]

First, represent the situation with numbers and variables. The first number will be [tex]x[/tex] and the second number will be [tex]x+1[/tex]. [tex]x+x+1=95[/tex]

Combine like terms. [tex]2x+1=95[/tex]

Subtract 1 on both sides. [tex]2x=94[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2. [tex]x=\boxed{47}[/tex]

Find the second number. [tex]x+1\ =\ 47+1\ =\ \boxed{48}[/tex]
