Question

THE SUM OF TWO CONSECUTIVES INTEGERS IS 59. WRITE AN EQUATION THAT MODELS THIS SITUATION AND FIND THE VALUES OF THE TWO INTEGERS TCARROLL010 PLEASE HELP ME

Answer 1

59=x+(x+1)+(x+2)
solve for x

Answer 2

can you do that or do you need help?

Answer 3

HELP PLEAASEEEEE

Answer 4

59 = x + (x + 1) So, 59 = 2x + 1, Solve for x, and the 2 numbers are x and x+1. Is this making sense?

Answer 5

NOT REALLY I NEED AN EQUATION THAT MODELS THIS SITION AND THEN TO FIND THE TWO INTEGERS

Answer 6

59=x+(x+1)+(x+2)

this equation models the situation, then just solve for x to find the first integer, add 1 for the next integer, and add 2 to x to find the 3rd integer

Answer 7

the simplified equation becomes 59=3x+3
can you solve it now?

Answer 8

Well, the equation is what I put in my last post: 59 = x + (x + 1)

Solving: 59 = 2x + 1 58 = 2x, so x = 29. So, your 2 integers are 29 and 30. Because 30 = x+1

Answer 9

Also, the reason you have x and x+1 is that x+1 is the next integer after x.
