We are asked to find the two integers, given that they are consecutive, and their sum is 65.

- Consecutive integers are right next to each other, like 12 and 13. or 65 and 66.
Let the first integer be x, and let the second integer be x+1.
Their sum is 65. Let's set up our equation:

Combine like terms:

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equal sign:

Divide both sides by 2:

To find the second integer, subtract the first integer from the sum of the two integers:


The integers are: 33 and 32.
Hope it helps you out! :D

X+y=155. Y= -x+155
1.50x +4(-x+155)= 520
1.50x-4x+620=520
-2.5x =-100
X= 40. Y=110
