Question

the sum of two consecutive integersis39.find the two integers

Answer 1

HEYA!!
----------


Let the integers be X and X+ 1 [ since they are consecutive ]

Given that ,


X + X + 1 = 39

2 X + 1 = 39

2X = 39 -1

2 X = 38

X = 38/2

X = 19


Hence the Integers are 19 and 20

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verification :- 19+20 = 39

LHS = RHS.

Answer 2

Answer:

• 19 and 20 are the required numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

• Sum of two consecutive integers is 39.

To find

• The two integers

Solution

(Let the first number be x, then the second number will be x + 1)

According to the question:

• x + x + 1 = 39
• 2x + 1 = 39
• 2x = 39 - 1
• 2x = 38
• x = 38/2
• x = 19

Hence, the numbers are:

• x = 19
• x + 1 = 19 + 1 = 20

Since, 19 + 20 = 39.
