Use the identity: 
and solve for 
. You get: 
Do the substitution on the left side to get:
Let's the name the first number x and the consecutive number x + 1. The sum of both of these numbers equals to 53.
We now have our equation:
x + x + 1 = 53
Now solve for x.
x + x + 1 = 53
2x + 1 = 53 <-- Combine like terms
2x = 52 <-- Subtract 1 from each side
x = 26
So, the first number is 26 and the second number is 27.

Answer:
90 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent the distance to Grandma's house.
The speed going was ...
speed = distance/time
speed = d/2
The speed coming home was ...
speed = d/2.25
The difference of these speeds is 5 miles per hour:
d/2 -d/2.25 = 5
2.25d -2d = 5(4.50) . . . . . multiply by 4.50
0.25d = 22.5 . . . . . . . . . . .simplify
d = 90 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4
Grandma's house is 90 miles away.
Answer:
'b' and 'c' = 119 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that this is a basic intersection of straight lines, we can assume 'b' and 'c' are equal as well as the given angle and it's opposite. Given 61 degrees and and two straight lines we can just take 180 degrees - 61 degrees and we get 119 degrees, I solved for 'b', but this will give the same answer for 'c', as 'b' and 'c' are equal.
