If the sum of an integer and 6 times the next consecutive integer is 61, the the value of lesser integer is 7

Consider the first odd integer as x

Then the next consecutive odd integer = x+2

The 6 times the second integer= 6(x+2)

= 6x+12

Sum of an integer and 6 times the next consecutive odd integer is 61

Then the equation will be

x + 6x+12 = 61

Add the like terms in the equation

(1+6)x + 12 = 61

7x +12 = 61

Move 12 to the right hand side of the equation

7x = 61-12

7x = 49

x = 49/7

x = 7

The second number is

x+2 = 7+2

= 9

Hence, if the sum of an integer and 6 times the next consecutive integer is 61, the the value of lesser integer is 7

e) Given the following: Let X = {1, 2, 3, 4) and a relation R on X as R= {(1,2), (2,3), (3,4)}. Find the reflexive and transitiv

Answer:

The answer is $\{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(1,2)(2,3)(3,4),(1,3),(1,4)\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a reflexive relation $R\subset \mathcal{P}(X)$ , where $\mathcal{P}(X)$ is the power set of $X$ , is one which conteins the ordered pairs of the form $(a,a)$ , for $a\in X$ .

So, As the reflexive and transitive closure of $R$ (that we will denote by $\overline{R}$ ) is in particular reflexive, we must add to $R$ the elements $\{(1,1) , (2,2),(3,3),(4,4) \}$

A transitive relation $R$ is one in which if the pair $(a,b)$ and the pair $(b,c)$ are in there, then the pair $(a,c)$ must be there too.

So, to complete the relation $R$ to be reflexive and transitive we must add the pair $(1,3)$ (because $(1,2),(2,3)$ are in $R$ ), the pair $(2,4)$ , and the pair $(1,4)$ because we added the pair $(2,4)$ .
