the two consecutive numbers are 56 and 57
x+x+1=113
2x+1=113
2x=113-1
2x=112
x=112/2
x=56
therefore, x=56
x+1= 56+1= 57
Yes the trip is worthwhile. If you save $50, but it takes you $10 in gas o get theready & $10 in gas to get back you still have $30 saved.
-30-5x=-4x-6(5+4x)
First, you need to use the distributive property on the right to get -30-5x=-4x-30-24x
Then, you can add like terms to get -30-5x=-30-28x
Then, you can add 30 to both sides and add 5x to both sides to get 0=-23x
Finally, you divide both sides by -23 to get 0=x
