Answer:
26 and 27
Step-by-step explanation:
The first integer = x
Therefore the second integer = x + 1
according to the statement we obtain the equation
(x) + (x + 1) <55
x + x + 1 <55
2 * x + 1 <55
We subtract 1 from both sides, we get:
2x <54
divide both sides by 2 we get:
x <27
Therefore the first integer is 26, since it has to be better than 27.
the second integer = x + 1
= 26 + 1
= 27
If we add 26 + 27 = 53, which is less than 55 and the condition is met
