Consecutive integers are integers that follow one another. For example, 2,3,4,5,etc.... are consecutive integers

So algebraically, consecutive integers follow the form x, x+1, x+2, etc...

Since the sum of two consecutive integers is 239, this means:

x%2Bx%2B1=239

2x%2B1=239 Combine like terms on the left side

2x=239-1Subtract 1 from both sides

2x=238 Combine like terms on the right side

x=%28238%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

x=119 Divide

So our first number is x=119

So to find the next number, simply add 1 to it to get 119%2B1=120

Answer: So our two page numbers are 119 and 120

What is the answer to K/2+1-1k=-2k
Mazyrski [523]

\dfrac{k}{2}+1-1k=-2k\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}k+1-k=-2k\\\\\left(\dfrac{1}{2}k-k\right)+1=-2k\\\\-\dfrac{1}{2}k+1=-2k\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\-\dfrac{1}{2}k=-2k-1\qquad\text{add 2k to both sides}\\\\1\dfrac{1}{2}k=-1\qquad\text{convert the mixed number to improper fraction}\\\\\dfrac{1\cdot2+1}{2}k=-1\\\\\dfrac{3}{2}k=-1\qqua\text{multiply both sides by}\ \dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\boxed{k=-\dfrac{2}{3}}
