Question

The sum of two consecutive positive integers is less than 15.

Answer 1

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

first and foremost the two consecutive numbers will be x and x + 1, which will equal to 2x + 1.

2x + 1 > 15

2x + 1 = 15

Collect like terms

2x = 15 - 1

2x = 14

Divide both sides by 2

x = 7
