Question

The sum of two consecutive integers is 49 write an equation that models the situation to find the values of the two integers

Answer 1

Minor    x
major    x+1
    
                           x + x + 1 = 49
                           x + x = -1 + 49
                                2x = 48
                                  x = 48/2
                                  x = 24
Solution
minor   x  ----------------> 24
major   x+1--------------> 25
                                      49
