Answer:
The smaller of these two number is 256.
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose, the two consecutive integers are [tex]n[/tex] and [tex]n+1[/tex]
Here, the smaller integer is [tex]n[/tex] and the larger integer is [tex]n+1[/tex]
The sum of two integers is given as [tex]513[/tex]. So, the equation will be....
[tex]n+(n+1)= 513\\ \\ n+n+1= 513\\ \\ 2n+1=513\\ \\ 2n= 513-1\\ \\ 2n= 512\\ \\ n= \frac{512}{2}=256[/tex]
So, the smaller integer is [tex]256[/tex].
