Let x and (x+1) be the consecutive integers.
=11
(x+(x+1))=121
2x+1=121
2x=120
x=60
largest integer is x+1. So 61.

Let n and n+1 be two consecutive integers. Now = 11 gives us = 11. To get rid of the square root, you square both sides to get 2n+1 = 121. Solving for n, we get n = 60. So our two consecutive integers are 60 and 61.
