n and n + 1 represent the two consecutive integers. The equation that models this situation is: n + (n + 1) = 59.
Simplifying the equation, we get: 2n + 1 = 59.
Subtracting 1 from both sides, we get: 2n = 58.
Dividing both sides by 2, we get: n = 29.
Therefore, the two consecutive integers are 29 and 30.
The sum of two consecutive integers is 59. Write an equation that models this situation and find the values of the two integers.
n + n + 1 = 59; n = 29; n + 1 = 30
n + 2n = 59; n = 19; 2n = 38
n + n + 1 = 59; n = 29; n + 1 = 28
n + n + 1 = 59; n = 30; n + 1 = 31
