The sum of two consecutive integers is 26. What are the integers? Question does not specify even or odd consecutive integers. Please HELP!

x is some integer

x+1 is the next consecutive integer

Consecutive integers are numbers like {5,6,7} or {11,12,13}. They are numbers that follow one after another.

We sum x and x+1 getting 26, which means,

x+(x+1) = 26

2x+1 = 26

2x = 26-1

2x = 25

x = 25/2

x = 12.5

But we run into a problem here. We made x an integer, but 12.5 is not an integer. So there are no integer solutions to the first equation

So there are no consecutive integers that add to 26.

If your teacher said "consecutive even integers", then the equation would be

x+(x+2) = 26

2x+2 = 26

2x = 26-2

2x = 24

x = 24/2

x = 12

And we can see that x = 12 and x+2 = 12+2 = 14 add to 12+14 = 26

But again this only applies if your teacher wrote "consecutive even integers". With that "even" left out, there are no solutions.

g(x) is the negative form of f(x)? because whenever its the negative form it reflects its self over the x axis. idk if this is right though.

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
