Add these numbers up right?
A: 18+19 = 37
B: 19+20 = 39
C: 17+18 = 35
D:16 + 17 = 33

The answer is A

p.s. hey itsanna!

Yay! Okay that's easy... :D

anonymous · Answer

16+17 = 33
17+18 = 35
18+19 = 37
19+20 = 39

So The first two ones don't add up to 36, so they are out.

Next you are left with 18+19=37 and 19+20=39 So 37<39

That means 18+19 < 19+20

So the smallest pair of integers that add up to at least 36 is 18+19.
