Question

When the smaller of two consecutive integers is added to four times the​ larger, the result is 59.

Answer 1

If the smaller of the two consecutive numbers is x, the second number will be x+1
$x+4(x+1)=59$
$x+4x+4=59$
$5x=55$
Therefore,
$x=11$
The smaller number is 11, then the larger number is 12.
