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

define consecutive

Answer 2

Numbers which follow each other in order, without gaps, from smallest to largest.

Answer 3

define sum

Answer 4

add

Answer 5

ok so if n is the starting number

the next consecutive number would be n+1, right?

Answer 6

i believe so

Answer 7

so which one do you think is the answer

Answer 8

b.

Answer 9

what does sum mean again?

Answer 10

O sorry i mean D.

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

Ty :)

Answer 13

It would be n+(n+1)=67
We know for 2 numbers to be consecutive, one has to be one more than the other (i.e. 1, and 2 are consecutive numbers, where 2 is 1 greater than 1)
So, n+(n+1)=67 will be applied :)
Now solve:
2n+1=67
2n=67-6
2n=66
n=66/2
n=33
So, the other number will be (x+1)=33+1=34
The first number is 33 and second is 34
I hope I'm clear :) if not then just lemme know I'll explain it again :)

Answer 14

good job @xoya , however it never asked for n

Answer 15

Thankyou :) I wanted to clear so I explained it :)

Answer 16

Ty to Xoya

Answer 17

Your welcome :)
