Let the smallest of two consecutive integer be x, thus other consecutive integer be x + 1.
As per the statement, sum of these two consecutive integers is 145. As such
x + x + 1 = 145
2x + 1 = 145
2x = 145 - 1
2x = 144
x = 144/2
x= 72
The smallest of two consecutive integers is 72. Other integer is
x + 1 = 72 + 1 = 73
Thus two consecutive integers are 72 and 73
Answer two consecutive integers are 72 and 73
