Question

PLEASE HELP

The sum of two consecutive integers is 37. Write an equation that models this situation and find the values of the two integers.


n + 2n = 37; n = 12; 2n = 24


n + n + 1 = 37; n = 19; n + 1 = 20


n + n + 1 = 37; n = 18; n + 1 = 17


n + n + 1 = 37; n = 18; n + 1 = 19

Answer 1

n + n + 1 = 37; n = 18; n + 1 = 19

Explanation:

18+18 = 36 + 1 = 37

Therefore:

18+19 (Two consecutive integers) = 37
