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.
