con�sec�u�tive/kənˈsekyətiv/Adjective
1. Following continuously.
2. In unbroken or logical sequence.

So consecutive integers are just numbers in the order that you would count. If one is 3 the next consecutive one is 4 and so on.

Let

represent the first of two consecutive integers. How do we get to the next consecutive integer? Add one, that's how. So the next consecutive integer has to be

"Half of the greater"

"Four more than half of the greater"

"The smaller is"

So:

All that is left is to solve for
