Two consecutive integers add to make 315.
Jamal writes expressions for the two integers:
1st number n, 2nd number n+2
------------------
"Two consecutive integers" should be n and n+1 (not n and n+2)



a)  n + (n+1) = 2n+1



b)  2n + 1 = 315



c)  2n + 1 = 315



 Subtract 1 from both sides, then...

 Divide both sides by 2...

  now you will have the value of n



Step (d) is then trivial
