Answer: 122 and 123

Step-by-step explanation:

Say that the first number is x. The next number will be x+1.

[tex]x + (x+1) = 246[/tex]

[tex]2x+1 = 246[/tex]

[tex]2x = 245[/tex]

[tex]x = 122.5[/tex]

So the first number will be 122 and the next consecutive number will be 123 if you want to produce whole numbers. We can easily round down. Be sure to check.

122 + 123 = 246 so that is still correct.
