    In order to find the larger integer, we simply add 2 to x.

    This may sound confusing, but consider that 1 is an odd number. Add 2, and you get 3. Add 2, and you get 5, and so on. By adding 2 to an odd number, you'll get another odd number (this works for even numbers too!).

    The equation should be

    x + (x + 2) = 52

    2x + 2 = 52

    2x = 50

    x = 25

    25+2=27

    The larger integer is 27
