The sum of two numbers is 17

Mathematics
1 answer:

6 0

Answer:

10 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be A and B

The sum of the two numbers is 17.

That’s

A + B = 17

The difference of the numbers is 3

A - B = 3

We now have two equations

1. A + B = 17

2 . A - B = 3

Subtract equation two from equation one.

B - - B = B + B = 2B

2B = 14

Divide both sides by 2

2B/2 = 14/2

B = 7

Now substitute 7 for B into either of the equations to get A.

Using equation 1 we have

A + B = 17

A + 7 = 17

Subtract 7 from both sides

A - 7 = 17 - 7

A = 10

The numbers are 10 and 7

The sum of an integer and 7 more than the next consecutive integer is 66. find the integer
Cloud [144]

If the sum of an integer and 7 more than the next consecutive integer is 66 then the integers are 29 and 30.

Given that the sum of an integer and 7 more than the next consecutive integer is 66.

Integer is a number that is written without a fraction component. It can be positive as well as negative.

let the first integer be x.

Consecutive integer will be x+1.

Sum of integer and 7 more than the next consecutive integer is 66.

Sum according to the given information=x+x+1+7

=2x+8

2x+8=66

2x=66-8

2x=58

x=58/2

x=29

Next integer=29+1-30.

Hence if the sum of an integer and 7 more than the next consecutive integer is 66 then the integers are 29 and 30.
