Question 920028: The sum of two consecutive integers is at least 52. What is the least possible pair of integers?
Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
n + (n+1) ≥ 52
2n ≥ 51
n > 25.5
n an Integer
n > 26
26, 27 the least possible pair of consecutive integers with a sum ≥ 52
26 + 27 = 53
Note:
25 + 26 = 51
Re TY
n + (n+1) < 3
2n < 2
n < 1
0, 1 the greatest possible pair of consecutive integers with a sum < 3
Note:
1 + 2 = 3
