Two consecutive integers mean numbers like 2, 3 or -3, -2. Let x represent the first number. the next consecutive number will be x + 1. The equation becomes: x + (x + 1) = 133. Solve for x: x + (x + 1) = 133 x + x + 1 = 133 2x + 1 = 133 Subtract 1 from both sides: 2x = 132 Divide both sides by 2: x = 66 x + 1 = 67. Solution: The two consecutive numbers adding up to 133 are 66 and 67.
