Answer:

The integers are 11 and 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the greater integer, then the lesser is x - 1, so:

2x = 3(x -1) - 9 Distribute the 3:

2x = 3x - 3 - 9 Subtract 3x from both sides:

-x = -3 - 9

-x = -12

x = 12.

1.)

Velocity is in m/s, and acceleration is in m/s^2 like you said. Because of this, we can calculate this by dividing the speed by the time it took to get to that speed.

(20 meters/second) / 10 seconds = 2 meters/ second^2

2.)

Same thing with the first one.

(100 meters/second) / 4 seconds = 25 meters / seconds^2
