Question

Two consecutive integers have a sum of 77. What are the two integers?

Answer 1

Answer: 38 and 39

if you add them together you get 77

Answer 2

38 & 39

Explanation:

Forming the equation,

→ x + (x + 1) = 77

→ 2x + 1 = 77

Now the value of x will be,

→ 2x + 1 = 77

→ 2x = 77 - 1

→ x = 76/2

→ [ x = 38 ]

Then the required integers are,

→ x = 38

→ x + 1 = 38 + 1 = 39

Hence, the integers are 38, 39.
