Hi,

Let highlight_green%28x%29 and highlight_green%28x%2B1%29represent the integers

Question states***The sum of two consecutive integers is at least 14

 x + (x+1) ≥ 14

   2x + 1 ≥  14

      2x ≥  13

       x ≥  6.5

the least possible pair of integers:  7, 8 

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
