oh just asking lol @Euler271

anonymous · Answer

2 consecutive integers at least 46:
$$x + (x+1) \ge 46$$

solve for x

anonymous · Answer

$$2x \ge 45$$$$x \ge 22.5$$

so the smaller integer is greater than 22.5 and the second one is greater than 23.5.
only one of the four options works

anonymous · Answer

actually 2 options work.

you must pick the one with the smallest integers
