The sum of two consecutive integers is 145. Find the two integers.
Let the first number be: x
Then the second number is: x+1
Sum means: +
is means: =
(x)+(x+1)=145
2x+1=145
2x+1-1=145-1
2x=144
2x/2=144/2
x=72
The first number: x=72
The second number: x+1=72+1=73

Sanity check:
Are 72 and 73 consecutive integers? Yes!
Do they add up to 145? 72+73=145 Yes!
We don't appear to be insane.
Happy Calculating!!!
