Answer:

n and (n - 1) are consecutive integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 'n', a positive integer.

This 'n' can either be odd or even.

Case I:

When 'n' is odd

The n - 1 is even.

Note that the product of odd and even is always even. That is the product of n and (n - 1) is even.

Case II:

when 'n' is even

Then n - 1 is odd.

Again, using the similar logic we can say that the product of n and n - 1 should be even because here, 'n - 1' is even and 'n' is odd.

Solving inequalities for word problems:
zepelin [54]

For this case we have to:

x: Let the variable representing the unknown number

We algebraically rewrite the given expression:

Twice a number plus 10, is represented as:2x + 10

Three times that number less 4. is represented as:

3x-4

Thus, the complete expression is:

2x + 10> 3x-4

Subtracting 3x from both sides of the inequality:

2x-3x + 10> -4\\-x + 10> -4

Subtracting 10 from both sides of the inequality:

-x> -4-10

Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed:

-x> -14

We multiply by -1 on both sides, taking into account that the sense of inequality changes:

x

The solution is given by all values of "x" less than 14.

Answer:

x
