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.
The product of two consecutive positive integers can be found by multiplying the smaller integer by the larger integer. If the smaller integer is represented as ( n ), then the larger integer would be ( n + 1 ). Therefore, the product of two consecutive positive integers is ( n \times (n + 1) ).
x > 16
x+3 and x+4 would be consecutive integers.
-1
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
The product of two consecutive positive integers can be found by multiplying the smaller integer by the larger integer. If the smaller integer is represented as ( n ), then the larger integer would be ( n + 1 ). Therefore, the product of two consecutive positive integers is ( n \times (n + 1) ).
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.
