Answer:

Explanation:

Let the smaller of two consecutive integer be x therefore other integer is x+ 1

As per statement the sum of two consecutive integers is 41. To find out the integers.

x + (x + 1) = 41

x + x + 1 = 41

2x + 1 = 41

2x = 41 - 1

2x = 40

x = 40/2

x = 20

The smaller of two consecutive integers is 20, thus other integer is x + 1 = 20 + 1 = 21

The two consecutive integers are 20 and 21

Answer the two consecutive integers are 20 and 21
