The integers are 14 and 7.
y=2x+5 xy=52 x(2x+5)=52 2x2+5x-52=0 (2x+13)(x-4)=0 x=-6.5 or x=4 Since you specified positive integers, x=4. y=2*4+5=13 So, the two numbers are 13 and 4.
ok this is what it looks like to me...I definitely could be wrong. one integer is three more than twice another integer if one integer is three more than another number (x+3=y) Then you just multiply "the other number" by 2. (x+3=2*y) Sum of two integers is 36....so add them (x+y=36) Solve that equation for one number so...(y=36-x) Then you would plug that equation into the first equation where there is a y: (x + 3 = 2*(36-x))
16.5
Let's denote the first integer as x. The next two consecutive integers would be x+1 and x+2. According to the given condition, twice the third integer (2(x+2)) is equal to 15 more than the first integer (x+15). Setting up the equation: 2(x+2) = x + 15. Solving this equation will give you the first integer, which you can then use to find the consecutive integers.
