Let *[tex \Large x] represent the first of two consecutive integers.  Then the other integer must be *[tex \Large x\ +\ 1]


The product of the two:  *[tex \Large x^2\ +\ x]


The sum of the two:  *[tex \Large 2x\ +\ 1]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x^2\ +\ x\ =\ (2x\ +\ 1)\ +\ 5]


Collect like terms in the LHS leaving zero in the RHS.  Solve the factorable quadratic.  Remember to consider both roots.

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
