Find two consecutive integers whose sum is 73.

which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem?

a. 2 x = 73
b. 2 x + 1 = 73
c. 2 x + 2 = 73
d. x 2 + 1= 73

Second option is correct. i.e. 2x+1=73.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Sum of two consecutive integers = 73

Let the first consecutive integer be x

Let the other consecutive integer be x+1

According to question,

so, x+1=36+1=37.

so, the second consecutive integer = 37.

Hence , 36 and 37 are two consecutive integers.

Therefore, Second option is correct. i.e. 2x+1=73.
