Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write an algebraic equation to solve this situation: x + x + 1 = 65, where x = first integer (small number) and x + 1 = the following integer.

Step 1: Combine like terms.

  • (x+x)+1=65
  • 2x + 1 = 65

Step 2: Subtract 1 from both sides.

  • 2x + 1 - 1 = 65 - 1
  • 2x = 64

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

  • 2x/2 = 64/2
  • x = 32

Therefore, the smaller number is 32 while the larger number is 33.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
