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.

126/3 = 42 calories per 1/4 cup. This 2 x 42 calories (2 quarters = 1/2 cup) = 84 calories.
5x + 2y = 7....multiply by -3
-2x + 6y = 9
----------------
-15x - 6y = -21 (result of multiplying by -3)
-2x + 6y = 9
---------------add
-17x = - 12
x = 12/17 or 0.7
5x + 2y = 7
5(12/17) + 2y = 7
60/17 + 2y = 7
2y = 7 - 60/17
2y = 119/17 - 60/17
2y = 59/17
y = 59/17 * 1/2
y = 59/34 or 1.7 when rounded <====
