Question

The sum of two consecutive integers is 77. Find the integers.

Answer 1

Answer:I believe it is 39 and 38

Explanation:

x + (x+1) = 77

2x = 76

x = 38 (1st number)

x+1 = 39 (2nd number)

Answer 2

38 and 39

Explanation:

Since the two integers are consecutive, then one is one larger than the other. Therefore, lets call them x and x+1. We can now set up the following equation:

x+(x+1)=77

2x+1=77

2x=76

x=38

x+1=39
