Consecutive Integer Problem 1

This lesson focuses on solving word problems involving consecutive integers. The instructor explains how to define consecutive integers using variables, and walks through examples of two and three consecutive integers. The lesson includes two problem-solving examples, one involving three consecutive integers and another involving two consecutive integers, and briefly introduces the concept of consecutive even and odd integers.

Shows how to solve a word problem with consecutive integers. This is solved with one variable, but more than one number is defined.
