Question

Find two consecutive integers whose sum is 73.

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

2x= 73
2x+ 1 = 73
2x+ 2 = 73
x^2+ 1= 73

Answer 1

First of all, if a number is x, then the two consecutive integers would be the number an the next number.
So, we can form an equation like \(x + (x +1) = 73\)
If you simplify that, you'd get an answer in the choices :)
