Find two consecutive integers whose sum is 113. which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem? 2x = 113 2x 1 = 113 2x 2 = 113 x2 1= 113

Option 2nd is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Let two consecutive integers are x and x+1

As per the statement:

The sum of two consecutive integers is 113

⇒    

⇒x+x+1=113                              ....[1]

Like terms are those which have same variable to the same power.

Combine like terms in [1] we have;

Therefore, the following equations could be used to solve the problem is,

11 feet 6 inches and 8 feet 6 inches
