The sum of two consecutive integers is 15?

Answer 1

Let the first integer be x. The second consecutive integer would then be x+1. The sum of these two integers is x + (x+1) = 15. Simplifying, we get 2x + 1 = 15. Solving for x, we find that x = 7. Therefore, the two consecutive integers are 7 and 8.

Answer 2

let x = 1st integer

x + 1 = next consecutive integer

x + x + 1 = 15

2x + 1 = 15

2x = 14

x = 7

x = 1 = 8
