Question

The sum of two consecutive integers is $39$. Find the two integers.

Answer 1

Let the two consecutive integers are $x,(x+1)$

Their Sum is given as $39.$

$\Rightarrow x+(x+1)=39$

$\Rightarrow 2x+1=39$

$\Rightarrow 2x=38$

$\therefore x=19$

so, $x=19$, and $(x+1)=19+1=20$

Hence, the two consecutive integers are $19,20.$
