Question

How do you find two consecutive integers whose sum is 45?

Answer 1

The reqd. integers are `22, and, 23`.

Explanation:

Since consecutive integers are required, we let them be `x, and, x+1`.

These add to `45`, we have, `x+x+1=45`

`rArr 2x+1=45`

`rArr 2x=44`

`rArr x=22, and, so, x+1=23`
