The small number is 2.

The large number is 3.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let the two consecutive numbers be x and x+1.

  • x be the small integer.
  • x+1 be the large integer.

The sum of these two consecutive integers = small integer + large integer

The sum of these two consecutive integers is x+x+1 = (2x+1)

It is given that,

  • The sum of two consecutive integers is one less than three times the smaller integer.
  • This means that, (2x+1) is one less than three times the smaller integer.
  • Here, the small integer is represented as x.

<u>Therefore, it can determined that :</u>

(2x+1) = 3x-1

Keeping x term on one side and constants on other side,

3x-2x = 1+1

x = 2

Therefore, the small number is 2 and the large number is x+1 = 3.

ivanzaharov [21]

The Municipality we be able to set up 597 street name boards with R2 left in the budget.

Data;

  • Amount Budgeted = R80,000
  • Cost of each board = R134

<h3>Number of Street Boards in the Budget</h3>

The number of streets boards that can be produced in the budget is calculated by dividing the total amount budgeted by the cost of each street board. This is done mathematically as

x = \frac{80000}{134}\\x = 597.01

We would have a total of 597 street names on the budget with some amount left.

We can calculated this by multiplying 597 by 134 and then subtracting the value from R80,000

597 * 134 = 79998 \\R80,000 - R79998 = R2

The Municipality we be able to set up 597 street name boards with R2 left in the budget.
