How to solve consecutive interger problems

    In order to solve consecutive interger problems we need to know what are consective interger. They are interger that are even or odd and that are in sequence . Frist we need to read the problem three times to understand what they are asking us. Then depending on what the question is asking like the unit if it's even or odd  and the value . We set up a equation of the problem it is representing  then solve . To solve is using combining like terms . Ex Sum of two consecutive numbers is 5. Find the smaller number.
Sum of x and x+1 is 5. Find x
x + x+1 = 5.
