Question

Find two consecutive integers whose sum is 187.
PLEASE SHOW ME HOW!

Answer 1

93, and 94

Explanation:

By dividing you're sum by two, you can find the two integers together. Subtracting 1 from one of the halves(In this case, 0.5, as 187/2 is 93.5), and adding it to the other half. You can check your answer by adding them together to see if it should equal what you're looking for.

Answer 2

93 and 94

Explanation:

Lets say one number is x.

Then the next number has to be x+1.

Now x+x+1=187

Just solve the equation:

2x=186

x=93

x+1=94
