## anonymous one year ago Which equation could be used to solve this problem? The sum of two consecutive integers is 141. Find the integers. A. n + 1= 141 B. 2n + 2 = 141 C. 2n = 141 D. 2n + 1 = 141

if n is an integer, then its consecutive is n+1, so we can write this: $\Large n + \left( {n + 1} \right) = 141$ please simplify

then A

6. Michele_Laino

no, since you have to compute this sum: $\Large n + \left( {n + 1} \right)$

then has to be C

8. Michele_Laino

sorry, C) can't be the right option. Hint: $\Large n + \left( {n + 1} \right) = n + n + 1$

no, since we have 1 not 2

whaaaaat. then its D

12. Michele_Laino

yes! it is D, we can write this: $\Large n + \left( {n + 1} \right) = n + n + 1 = 2n + 1 = 141$
