Question

Two consecutive integers have a sum of 75. Find the integers.

Answer 1

37 and 38

Explanation:

let the consecutive integers be x-1 and x

If their sum is 75

x-1+x = 75

2x - 1 = 75

2x = 75+1

2x = 76

x = 76/2

x = 38

First integer = x - 1

First integer = 38-1 = 37

Second integer is 38

Hence the integers are 37 and 38
