An integer is a whole number. Sum means to add and since they are consecutive, there is only a difference of 1 between them.
1) 21 + 23: not consecutive 2) 23+24= 47: has to be at least 46 3) 22+23= 45: has to be at least 46 4) 24+25= 49: has to be at least 46
So we have two possibilities: either #2 or #4. Find least possible pair of integers.
x= first integer x+1= second integer
x + (x+1) >= 46 2x + 1 >=46 2x>=45 x>=22.5
Answer: The first integer has to be greater than or equal to 22.5. Since integers are whole numbers, round up to the next whole number. The least possible integers are #2) 23 and 24.
