Problema Solution
For two consecutive integers, the sum of twice the larger and three times the smaller is 242. Find the integers
Answer provided by our tutors
the two consecutive integers can be written as x and x+1
x+1 is the larger since x+1>x
the sum of twice the larger and three times the smaller is 242:
2(x + 1) + 3x = 242
by solving we find:
x = 48
