Question

Find two consecutive integers whose sum is 67.

Which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem?

2x = 67
2x + 1 = 67
2x + 2 = 67
x 2 + 1= 67

Answer 1

HEY MATE,
.
.
here is your answer.......
.
.
.
Let the two consecutive integars be :
......................( x + x+1 ).................
now,
.
X+X+1=67
2X+1 =67
2X=67-1
x=66/2
x=33
so the consecutive ingers are 33,34.
.
.
.
and in your question you asked which equation should be used to solve this, so the 2nd equation is the correct eq. to solve this.....

hey mate
here is ur answer

consider the first consecutive number as x
and second consecutive number as x +1

$x + x + 1 = 67 \\ 2x + 1 = 67$

2x +1
is the equation which can be used to find the number

hope it helps :)
