58 = 3x + y

y = x-2

58 = 3x + x-2

58 = 4x - 2

56 = 4x

14 = x

x-2 = y

y = 16
Let x= the lesser integer=14

Let x+2 = the larger integer=16

3(x)+(x+2)=58

3x+x+2=58

4x+2=58

4x=56

x=14

x+2

(14)+2

16
Let the smaller number be n, then the larger number is n + 2.

3n + (n + 2) = 58 : 4n + 2 = 58 : 4n = 56 : n = 14. then n + 2 = 16

The two consecutive even numbers are 14 and 16.

What two consecutive even integers such that three times the lesser integer added to the larger integer is 58.?

Let the smaller integer be x, then then larger integer is x + 2, and: 3x + (x + 2) = 58 → 4x = 56 → x = 14 → The two integers are 14 and 16.


What are the two integers if the lesser of two consecutive odd integers is doubled the result is 7 more than the greater integer?

The integers are the sqare root of 121 and 81 to the 2/4 power.


Two consecutive even integers such that four times the greater added to the lesser is 98?

Call the unknown higher integer h. Then, from the problem statement, 4h + (h-2) = 98; 5h = 100; h = 20. Thus the two integers are 18 and 20.


When the lesser of two consecutive integers is added to three times the greater the result is 43 Find the integers?

Let the two integers be m-1 & m, so the lesser integer is m-1, and the greater integer is m:(m-1) + 3*m = 43 --> 4*m -1 = 43 --> 4*m = 44, m = 11 & m-1 = 10, so 10 & 11Check: 11 times 3 is 33, add 10 is 43


Tripling the greater of two consecutive even integers gives the same result as subtracting 10 from the lesser even integer What are the integers?

3(n + 2) = n - 10 3n + 6 = n - 10 2n + 6 = -10 2n = -16 n = -8 -8 and -6


What two consecutive integers that the lesser added to two times the greater gives a sum of 22?

6 and 8


Twice the greater of two consecutive odd integers is 13 less than three times the lesser number what is the integer?

Let the two odd numbers be n and n+2, then : 2(n + 2) + 13 = 3n 2n + 4 + 13 = 3n n = 17 The smaller of the two odd numbers is 17 and the larger number is 19.


One integer is four times another The sum of the integers is 5 What is the value of the lesser integer?

Let's denote the unknown integer as "x". So now we have two integers, "x" and "4x" because one integer is 4 times the other. So the sum of x+4x= 5x 5x = 5 So x=1


Find two consecutive even integers such that the lesser added to three times the greater gives a sum of 46?

The two integers you are looking for would be 10 and 12. 12X3=36 therefore 10+(12X3)=46. Voila.


Is a integer that is bigger farther from the zero than a smaller integer?

Not exactly. All positive integers are greater than all negative integers, but -1 is greater than -7 even though -7 is farther from zero. It's better to think of a number line. Things get greater as you move to the right, lesser as you move to the left.


How would you use a number line to order integers from greatest to least?

To order integers from greatest to least on a number line, first identify the positions of each integer on the line. The integers that are farther to the right represent greater values, while those to the left represent lesser values. Starting from the rightmost integer, you would list the integers in descending order until you reach the leftmost one. This visual representation helps clearly see the relative sizes of the integers and facilitates accurate ordering.


When a lesser integer is divided by a greater integer what will the quotient be?

The quotient will be less than one.
