Question

The difference between two integers is at least 14. The smaller integer

Answer 1

The difference between two integers is at least 14. The smaller integer  is 2. What is the larger integer?

Answer:

The largest integer is 16

Solution:

Given that difference between two integers is at least 14

The smaller integer  is 2

To find: largest integer

Let the smallest integer be "y" and largest integer be "x"

smallest integer = x = 2

difference between two integers is at least 14

So, y - 2 $\geq$ 14

y $\geq$ 14 + 2

y $\geq$ 16

Thus the largest integer is 16
