Answer:

67,68

Explanation:

Framing algebraic equations and solving:

Frame algebraic equations and solve and find the unknown values.

Let the two consecutive integers be 'x' and 'x+1'.

Sum = 135

x + x + 1 = 135

Combine like terms. Here x and x are like terms. Add the co-efficient of the like terms.

2x +1 = 135

Now, subtract 1 from both sides.

2x = 135 -1

2x = 134

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 134÷ 2

x = 67

Answer:

The two consecutive integers are 67 & 68.
