Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 consecutive integers represented as variables:
x, x + 1
Greater one: x + 1
Lesser one: x
Write as an equation
2(Greater) + 13 = 3(Lesser)
Substitute in known values
2(x + 1) + 13 = 3(x)
Multiply
2x + 2 + 13 = 3x
Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation
2 + 13 = x
Add 2 + 13 to simplify
x = 15
Lesser = x = 15
Greater = x + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16
Hope this helps :)
