You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the two intergers would be 18 and 19
but the way that you come up with that would be this..
you let x equal the first number
so the only rational way to find out the second number would be to say x+1 equals second number
the only way that i can tell you that i came up with this answer was that i divided 2 by 37 and i got 18 i hope that this helps you....

Find two X and X+1
Next you get 2x+1=37
then solve the equation by 37-1=36
then divide by 2 which gives you 18
so x=18
now finally you get x+1 as 19
Here are the answers
x=18
x=19
