We need to find 2 integers, n and n + 1, who have a sum = 27 n + (n + 1) = 27
Grouping like terms, we get 2n + 1 = 27
Subtract 1 from each side:
2n + 1 - 1 = 27 - 1
Cancel the ±1 from each side and simplify:
2n + 1 - 1 = 27 - 1
2n = 26
Divide each side by 2:
2n
=
26
2
Cancel the 2's on the left side of the equation and simplify:
2n
2
=
26

First Answer:
n = 13
Determine the 2nd Integer:
Now, since we found our first integer, our 2nd integer is just one greater:
(n + 1) = 13 + 1
Second Answer:
(n + 1) = 14
Final Answers:
n = 13 (n + 1) = 14
