Question

Two consecutive integers have a sum of 179 . Find the integers.

Answer 1

It is 89 and 90

X + X+1 = 179
Solve this equation
Since consecutive means one after another, x represents the first number, and the consecutive number of X would just be X plus 1
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Because they are consecutive, you could say one is "x" and one is "x + 1", then x+(x+1)=179 according to the condition, then x = 89, x+1=90, we found the answer.
