The sum of two consecutive integers is 245 what is the smaller integer?

122 is the smaller integer

Step-by-step explanation:

n = the smaller integer

n+1 is the larger integer

122+(122+1) = 245

tip $2.90

total $17.40

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
