Consecutive Integers? CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS?

x and x+1 would be consecutive integers, assuming x is an integer.

x%2B%28x%2B1%29=16
2x%2B1=16
2x=16-1
2x=15
x=15%2F2
Do you see the trouble here?

The sum of two consecutive integers are equal or less than 16. Using the two integers, their difference is equal or less than 11, find the integers.
Consecutive integers will always have a difference of 1

The smaller of the 2 integers you refer to are the set of integers, 7 or less. The larger is found by adding 1 to the smaller. 

In other words, the pair starts with:

7 and 8. It can also be:

6 and 7

5 and 6, 

etc.
