Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive numbers are directly next to each other on the number line, so B is already out of the question. Add each pair together to see which one is 131.

Answer:

C. 65 and 66

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be first number

Then x + 1 be next number

x + (x + 1) = 131

2x + 1 = 131

2x = 130

x = 65

x + 1 = 66
