Answer 8

A.19 and 20

B.17 and 18

C.18 and 19

D.16 and 17

We will add these.

Answer 9

So try all your pairs:

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.
