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.
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/2 = 7 /2
2 1/2 = 5 /2
7/2 - 5/2
= 2/2 = 1

<span>If y varies directly with x, the formula of the equation is y=ax, where a is a constant.
y=ax
(21)=a(7)
a=3
y=ax
y=(3)(-1.66)
y=-4.98, x=-1.66
If y varies inversely with x, the formula of the equation is y=a/x, where a is a constant
y=a/x
9=a/2.5
a=22.5
y=22.5/x
y=22.5/-0.6
y=-37.5
I hope this helped! =)
I hope you didn't mind but I got this from a website called: answers.yahoo.com but I got your answer.
