We are asked to find the two integers, given that they are consecutive, and their sum is 65.
[tex]\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}[/tex]
- Consecutive integers are right next to each other, like 12 and 13. or 65 and 66.
Let the first integer be x, and let the second integer be x+1.
Their sum is 65. Let's set up our equation:
[tex]\longmapsto\sf{x+x+1=65}[/tex]
Combine like terms:
[tex]\longmapsto\sf{2x+1=65}[/tex]
Subtract 1 from both sides of the equal sign:
[tex]\longmapsto\sf{2x=64}[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2:
[tex]\longmapsto\sf{x=32}[/tex]
To find the second integer, subtract the first integer from the sum of the two integers:
[tex]\longmapsto\pmb{65-32}[/tex]
[tex]\longmapsto\pmb{33}[/tex]
The integers are: 33 and 32.
Hope it helps you out! :D
