Question

The sum of two consecutive integers is 45.Find the two integers​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Two CONSECUTIVE integers with no further qualifiers means counting left to right on the number line.

Let the first number be n

Then the next number is n + 1

2n + 1 = -45

2n = - 46

$n = - \frac{46}{2} = - 23 \: so \: n \: + 1 = - 22$

Answer 2

$\large\mathfrak \pink{Solution:-}$

$\underline \mathbb{GIVEN:-}$

The sum of two consecutive integers is 45.

$\underline \mathbb{TO \: FIND:-}$

The two integers.

$\underline \mathbb{ASSUMPTION:-}$

Let, one number be x

other number be x + 1

$\underline \mathbb{BY \: THE \: PROBLEM:-}$

$x + x + 1 = 45 \\ \\ \implies \: 2x + 1 = 45\\ \\ \implies \: 2x = 45 - 1\\ \\ \implies \: 2x = 44 \\ \\ \implies \: x = \frac{44}{2} \\ \\ \implies \: x =22$

$\underline \mathbb{ANSWER:-}$

One number = x = 22

Other number = x + 1 = 22 + 1 = 23
