Question

Two consecutive integers have a sum of 189. Find the integers

Answer 1

94+95=189 this is your answer.

Answer 2

Let the integers are x and x+1 .

It is given that there sum is 189 . It means

`x+x+1 = 189`

Combining like terms of the left side

`2x+1 = 189`

Subtracting 1 from both sides

`2x = 188`

Dividing both sides by 2

`x = 94`

So the numbers are 94 and 95 .
