Question

Ameekah is working with consecutive integers. If she uses x to represent her first number, what should she use to represent her second number?

A x
B x + 1
C x + 2
D 2x

Answer 1

B) x + 1

Explanation:

Consecutive integers mean continuous integers ( 1, 2 , 3 ,....). We will get the next number by adding 1 to the previous number.

Eg: 5 , 6 , 7 ,.....

6 = 5 + 1

7 = 6 + 1

So, if first number is x, then the next number will be x + 1
