Question

The sum of 2 consecutive integers of 9, what are the integers?

Answer 1

The numbers are as follows: `color(blue)(4,5`

Explanation:

Let the the consecutive numbers be :

`color(blue)((x) and (x+1)`

As per the condition given:
`color(blue)((x) + (x+1)) = 9`

`2x +1 = 9`

`2x = 8`

`x =4`

`color(blue)(x=4`
So the numbers are as follows: `color(blue)(4,5`
