Question

Find two consecutive integers whose sum is 45

Answer 1

22 & 23

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

x+x+1=45

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

x+x+1=45

(x+x)+(1)=45(Combine Like Terms)

2x+1=45

2x+1=45

Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.

2x+1−1=45−1

2x=44

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x/2=44/2

x=22

22+23 = 45

Answer 2

x+(x+1)=45
2x+1=45
2x=44
x=22
The answer is 22 and 23
