3*(x+1) - x = 7
So 3x + 3 - x = 7
then 2x = 4 or x = 2
So the two integers are 2 and 3
There can be no such integers: a smaller integer cannot be 5 times the larger number.
x > 16
x+3 and x+4 would be consecutive integers.
-1
6 and 8.
The larger integer is 30. The smaller is 28.
There can be no such integers: a smaller integer cannot be 5 times the larger number.
The smaller integer is 6, the larger integer is 32
x > 16
x+3 and x+4 would be consecutive integers.
-1
6 and 8.
It means the next larger whole number.
x+2
n-3
There is no solution. 1.4 times the smaller is less than 1.5 times the smaller which, in turn, is less than 1.5 times the larger. 1.4 times the smaller is, therefore, smaller than 1.5 times the larger and certainly not 3 more than 1.5 times the larger.
114.As we know that the numbers are 2 consecutive even integers, we know that one number will be 2 larger than the other. We can use this to solve the problem with algebra:Where x is the smaller number,x + (x + 2) = 2262x + 2 = 2262x = 224x = 112Therefore the larger integer is 112 + 2 = 114
