Question

The sum of two consecutive integers is 129. Find both integers

Answer 1

x=64

Explanation:

We're looking for two consecutive integers whose sum is 129.

Let's call the first integer x. Since the next integer is consecutive, we can call it x + 1.

According to the problem, the sum of these two integers is 129. So we can set up the equation:

x + (x + 1) = 129

Now, let's solve for x.

2x + 1 = 129

Subtract 1 from both sides:

2x = 128

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 64
