the sum of two consecutive intergers is 59, write an equation that models the situation and find the values of the two intergers

Answer 1

Let's denote the first integer as x and the second integer as x+1.

The equation that models the situation is:
x + (x+1) = 59

Solving for x:
2x + 1 = 59
2x = 58
x = 29

So, the first integer is 29 and the second integer is 30.
