1. So, 22, 23 are the two numbers.

   What is linear and polynomial function?

   There are two distinct but related ideas that are referred to as linear functions: A polynomial function of degree 0 or 1 is referred to as a linear function in calculus and related fields if its graph is a straight line.

   Consecutive numbers are preceding and following, hence we need two numbers so that

   X+1=Y

   or

   X- Y = -1

   In addition, we are aware of

   4x + 3y = 157

   Let’s increase the top equation by 3 times.

   We get

   3x – 3y = -3

   Then we combine that with the bottom equation.

   4x + 3y = 157

         7x= 154

          x = 22

   Afterward, we substitute x into the initial equation,

   22+1 = 23

   So, 22, 23 are the two numbers.
