We can find this integer using a system of equations.  The first thing we look at is the first sentence.

Let's call X The first integer,

Let's call Y the second integer.


So, X+Y=61 and X-Y= 1


Using Substituion on the second equation, we get

X=Y+1

(Now we plug in Y+1 into the second equation for X)

So,

(Y+1)+Y=61

2Y=60

Y=30

So, one of the integers is 30.

Now to find the second, we go back to

X=Y+1

X=30+1

X=31.


So, the integers are 31 and 30.


Hope this helps!
