Choose the equation that could be used to find two consecutive integers whose sum is 69.
n + (n + 2) = 69
n + (n + 1) = 69
n - (n + 1) = 69
n + 2n = 69
Solution:
Consider the first number as n
As they are consecutive integers we know that the second number is n + 1
n + (n + 1) = 69
By further calculation
n + n + 1 = 69
2n + 1 = 69
2n = 69 - 1
2n = 68
Dividing both sides by 2
n = 34
First number n = 34
Second number n + 1 = 35
Therefore, the equation is n + (n + 1) = 69.
Choose the equation that could be used to find two consecutive integers whose sum is 69.
Summary:
The equation that could be used to find two consecutive integers whose sum is 69 is n + (n + 1) = 69.
