Answer:

[tex]\large\boxed{15, 16}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

2 consecutive integers represented as variables:

x, x + 1

Greater one: x + 1

Lesser one: x

Write as an equation

2(Greater) + 13 = 3(Lesser)

Substitute in known values

2(x + 1) + 13 = 3(x)

Multiply

2x + 2 + 13 = 3x

Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation

2 + 13 = x

Add 2 + 13 to simplify

x = 15

Lesser = x = 15

Greater = x + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16

[tex]\large\boxed{15, 16}[/tex]

Hope this helps :)
