Question

The sum of two consecutive intergers is 153. Which equation can be used to find the first interger n?
2n+1=153
2n=153
n+1=153
2n+2=153

Answer 1

If we let the first integer be equal to n, how would we represent the next consecutive integer?

Answer 2

Idk

Answer 3

What does consecutive mean? which pairs would you consider being consecutive?
23, 24 30, 32 3,4 71, 72 ??

Answer 4

Idk could you explain this to me like I am an 5 year old please.

Answer 5

two consecutive integers means the numbers are next to each other on the number line. In the above, 23 and 24 are consecutive so are 3 and 4, do you see another pair above that was consecutive?

Answer 6

Maybe you could use the problem as your example. Don't give me the answer just explain it to me.

Answer 7

O.K. Do you know algebra?

Answer 8

Here is the problem:

The sum of two consecutive intergers is 153. Which equation can be used to find the first interger n?
2n+1=153
2n=153
n+1=153
2n+2=153

Using the problem as an example:
Let n = the first (are smaller) number. Then we would state that
n+1 = the next consecutive number. These two numbers sum up to 153 so we write.
n + n + 1 = 153. consolidating similar terms we get
2n + 1 = 153.
