Question

Here's the problem. I have to write an equationa and solve.

The greater of two consecutive integers is 15 more than twice the smaller. Find the intergers.

Thank you guys so much! =)

Answer 1

Let x +1 = greater consecutive integer and x = smaller.

From the data you have given, x + 1 = 2x +15

You solve for x.
