Answer:
The integers are 93 and 94.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
- ➟ The first number = x
- ➟ The second number = x+1
Now, substituting all the given values in the equation and finding the value of x.
[tex]\begin{gathered}\qquad\implies{\tt{x + (x + 1) = 187}}\\\\\qquad\implies{\tt{x + x + 1 = 187}}\\\\\qquad\implies{\tt{2x + 1 = 187}}\\\\\qquad\implies{\tt{2x= 187 - 1}}\\\\\qquad\implies{\tt{2x= 186}}\\\\\qquad\implies{\tt{x= \dfrac{186}{2}}}\\\\\qquad\implies{\tt{x= 93}}\end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence, the value of x is 93.
Now, we know the value of x. So, finding the two consecutive integers.
- ➝ First number = 93
- ➝ Second number = 93+1 = 94
