    The sum of two consecutive integers plus 18 is 123.

    Let our first integer be n and our next integer be n + 1. We have:
    n + (n + 1) + 18 = 123

    Group like terms to get our algebraic expression:
    2n + 19 = 123

    If we want to solve the algebraic expression using our equation solver, we get n = 52. This means the next integer is 52 + 1 = 53
