Question

Choose the equation that could be used to find two consecutive integers whose sum is 67.

n + (n + 2) = 67

n − (n + 1) = 67

n + n = 67

n + (n + 1) = 67

Answer 1

consecutive integers are whole numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4, ...

basically numbers that follow one after the other

Answer 2

so let's say 'n' is the first (smaller) integer

Answer 3

what is the next consecutive integer

Answer 4

2

Answer 5

no

Answer 6

n is the first integer

____ is the next consecutive integer

Answer 7

O

Answer 8

still no

Answer 9

say n = 3

the next integer would be 4

Answer 10

4 = 3+1

Answer 11

so replace 3 with what it is equal to

Answer 12

so 4

Answer 13

3 = ???

Answer 14

look above to what i set 3 equal to

Answer 15

3?

Answer 16

i said n = 3 above, see it

Answer 17

so n = 3

4 is the next consecutive integer

so

4 = 3+1

4 = n + 1 ... replace 3 with n (since n = 3)

Answer 18

if n is the first, then n+1 is the next consecutive integer

Answer 19

um im so confused

Answer 20

where are you stuck

Answer 21

the whole thing

Answer 22

do you have your notes with you? or your book with you?

Answer 23

no

Answer 24

ok I recommend getting them out and going over them again

Answer 25

look for the term "consecutive integer" and problems dealing with them

Answer 26

there's probably an example showing how to solve problems like that
