Answer:


Explanation:

Two consecutive integers add to 189.5 What are they?

The first integer is n

The second one is n + 1


(n + n + 1)/(4) = 189.5

Multiply both sides by 4.

n + n + 1=4 * 189.5

2n + 1 = 758 Subtract 1

2n + 1 -1 = 758 - 1 Cancel the 1s and combine like terms.

2n = 757

This will not work because the result is a fraction. You cannot have a fraction and an integer coexisting.
