The easiest way to do this is to use 'n' as one integer. Now, the next one needs to be consecutive, so we can make the second integer 'n+1'

n + (n+1) = 55

Now all we do is start simplifying

2n + 1 = 55

2n = 55 -1

2n = 54

n = 27

Since n = 27, the first integer will be 27.

And we stated that the second is 'n+1', so the second would be 28.

Double check,

27 + 28 = 55

So, our integers are 27 and 28.
