We are asked to find the two integers, given that they are consecutive, and their sum is 65.
- 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:
Combine like terms:
Subtract 1 from both sides of the equal sign:
Divide both sides by 2:
To find the second integer, subtract the first integer from the sum of the two integers:
The integers are: 33 and 32.
Hope it helps you out! :D
