Question

the sum of two consecutive integers is greater than 79. Find the pair of integers with the smallest sum and determine their sum.

Answer 1

if they are integers, and if the sum is greater than 79, it must be at least 81

Answer 2

so think of two consecutive integers that add to 81
one guess should do it, as long as you realize that "consecutive" means one integer, then the next one

Answer 3

so it would be 40 and 41
