I'm kind of unsure of my answer, please help me. I appreciate your answers. Find two consecutive integers whose sum is 113. Which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem?

choices:
2 x + 1 = 113 + 1= 113
2 x = 113
2 x + 2 = 113

We can call the numbers x and x + 1. Then we can write:

x + x + 1 = 113 which simplifies to 2x + 1 = 113.

the given 6 = w/p is equivalent to 6p = w, where w is the total area of the walls and p is the area covered by a single can of paint.

knowing that 6 cans of paint will be needed, 6p = w becomes 6(6) = w = 36.   this tells us that the total area to be painted is 36 square units.
