Question

When the smaller of two consecutive integers is added to fourtimes the larger, the result is 29. Find the integers.

Answer 1

   
x + 4(x + 1) = 29

x + 4x + 4 = 29
5x + 4 = 29
5x = 29 - 4
5x = 25
x = 25/5 
x = 5
x+1 = 6
Ansver:  The two consecutive numbers are 5 and 6.
Check:
x + 4(x+1) = 5 + 4 · 6 = 5+24 = 29   OK!

Answer 2

.Let small number = xLet large number = y x+4y=29 y-1=x or x+1=y
