  let the first number = x (equation 1)

  and the second number = x+2 (equation 2)

  then , x+x+2=68

  2x+2=68

  2x=68-2

  2x=66

  x=66÷2

  x=33

  from the above equations

  the first number = x = 33

  the second number = x+2 = 33+2= 35

  therefore, the two consecutive numbers for 68 is 33+35 = 68.

  Hence proved.
