Question

Find two consecutive intergers whose sum is 45

Answer 1

Answer:

n + ( n+1 ) = 45

Step-by-step explenation:

2n+1=45

2n = 45 - 1

2n = 44

n = 44/2

n=22

22 and 23

Answer 2

Answer:

The reqd. integers are  

22  and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Since consecutive integers are required, we let them be  

x  and  x + 1 . These add to  45

, we have,  x + x + 1=45

⇒ 2x +1= 45

⇒2 x= 44

⇒ x= 22  and ,  s o  x + 1 = 23
