Answer:

21 and 22 are the integers.

Explanation:

Let's say the lower number is x. This means that the bigger number would be x+1

x+x+1=43

Simplify

2x+1=43

Subtract 1 on each side of the equation to isolate 2x:

2x=42

Divide

x=21

Let's put this to the test! The lower number(x) is 21, and the bigger number(x+1) would be 22. The total is 43.

Happy learning!
