Question

How do you find two consecutive integers whose sum is 104?

Answer 1

There are no such integers because the sum of two consecutive integers is ALWAYS an odd number . For example, `3+4=7` where 3 and 4 are consecutive integers and 7 is odd number.

Explanation:

The consecutive integers can be represented as `x,x+1`

hence `x+(x+1)=104=>2x=103=>x=103/2=51.5`

but since x is an integer there arent two consecutive integers whose sum is 104.
