Problema Solution
the larger of two consecutive integers is ten more than twice the smaller. Find the integers
Answer provided by our tutors
let the two consecutive integers be 'x' and 'x+1' then 'x + 1' is the larger
the larger is ten more than twice the smaller
x + 1 = 10 + 2x
2x - x = 1 - 10
x = -9
x + 1 = -8
the numbers are -8 and -9.
