Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement: Two consecutive integers have a sum of 61 .

Let x and x+ 1 are the two consecutive integers.

then;

as per the given condition we have;

Combine like terms;

Subtract 1 from both sides ;

Simplify:

2x = 60

Divide both sides by 2 we get;

x = 30

and

value of x+1 = 30+1 = 31

Therefore, the integers are, 30 and 31.

answer:   b
