Answer:

5 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

1) If we call the larger number x and the smaller y we can write two equations.

y= x - 8 and x - 3=2y

2) we can substitute the x-8 in for the y in the second equation.

x-3=2(x-8)

3) by distributing and simplifying we find that x=13

4) To find y we need to plug x back into the first equation.

y=13-8

y=5

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

France = 15, Italy = 14, Korea = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

We are trying to find 3 consecutive integers whose sum is 42, then the highest integer will be France's gold medal count since they won the most, the second highest will be Italy, and the lowest integer will be Korea.

let n be the first/smallest integer, since they are consecutive, the next two integers are n+1 and n+2. Summing these, we get n + (n+1) + (n+2) = 42. Solve to get n = 13, n + 1 = 14, and n + 2 = 15
