Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller integer be n.
Then the larger integer is n + 2.
"When the smaller integer is added to three times the larger integer, the result is two less than five times the smaller integer."
The correct equation is:
n + 3(n + 2) = 5n - 2
His mistake is not using parentheses on the left side. Since he left out the parentheses, the left side is not "the smaller integer added to three times the larger integer", but rather it is "the smaller integer added to 2 plus 3 times the smaller integer."
n + 3(n + 2) = 5n - 2
n + 3n + 6 = 5n - 2
4n + 6 = 5n - 2
8 = n
n = 8
n + 2 = 10
The integers are 8 and 10.
The answer would be 7. Another way to think of it is subtract 40-33. That gets you 7.
(-9) - (-2) = -7
that should be the answer you subtract
