Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Two consecutive integers add to 189.5 What are they?
The first integer is n
The second one is n + 1
[tex]\dfrac{n + n + 1}{4} = 189.5[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 4.
n + n + 1=4 * 189.5
2n + 1 = 758 Subtract 1
2n + 1 -1 = 758 - 1 Cancel the 1s and combine like terms.
2n = 757
This will not work because the result is a fraction. You cannot have a fraction and an integer coexisting.
