To find out the last operation, we must solve the entire problem.
We are given:
Let's simplify the signs so they don't clutter our equation.
We always need to be sure to use PEMDAS. Since there is no expression to solve in parenthesis and no exponents are present, we will move on to multiplication. We can multiply -9 and -6 in the denominator. When we do that, we get:
Next, all you need to do is combine like terms in the numerator and the denominator.
Simplify.
To answer the question, the last operation to be performed when finding the value would be division.
The small number is 2.
The large number is 3.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let the two consecutive numbers be x and x+1.
- x be the small integer.
- x+1 be the large integer.
The sum of these two consecutive integers = small integer + large integer
The sum of these two consecutive integers is x+x+1 = (2x+1)
It is given that,
- The sum of two consecutive integers is one less than three times the smaller integer.
- This means that, (2x+1) is one less than three times the smaller integer.
- Here, the small integer is represented as x.
<u>Therefore, it can determined that :</u>
(2x+1) = 3x-1
Keeping x term on one side and constants on other side,
3x-2x = 1+1
x = 2
Therefore, the small number is 2 and the large number is x+1 = 3.
