I don’t understand what you are asking?
Yes it is because 10x and -42 will both give you a factor
To subtract fractions, you need to obtain a common denominator. We can achieve this, in this case, by multiplying:

Simplify this:

Now we have common denominators, so we can easily just subtract the numerators, and we have the answer:

Notice that this is divisible by 2:

That's your answer!
Answer:
{-12, -11}
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smaller of the two integers. The problem statement tells us ...
x +1 = (1/3)x -7
(2/3)x = -8 . . . . . . subtract 1/3x +1
x = -12 . . . . . . . . . multiply by 3/2
The integers are -12 and -11.
