Find two consecutive integers whose sum is 113.

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

2x= 113
2x+ 1 = 113
2x+ 2 = 113
x2+ 1= 113

Answer 1

If x is a number.
x+1 is the next number.
If you add them to get 113, then you have equation:
(x)+(x+1)=113
or:
x+x+1=113
OR
2x+1=113

Answer 2

2x + 1 = 113
