Hi student, let me help you out! :)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We are asked to find the two integers, given that they are consecutive, and their sum is 65.

\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}

  • Consecutive integers are right next to each other, like 12 and 13. or 65 and 66.

Let the first integer be x, and let the second integer be x+1.

Their sum is 65. Let's set up our equation:

\longmapsto\sf{x+x+1=65}

Combine like terms:

\longmapsto\sf{2x+1=65}

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equal sign:

\longmapsto\sf{2x=64}

Divide both sides by 2:

\longmapsto\sf{x=32}

To find the second integer, subtract the first integer from the sum of the two integers:

\longmapsto\pmb{65-32}

\longmapsto\pmb{33}

The integers are: 33 and 32.

Hope it helps you out! :D
