Answer:

35 and 36

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we must interpret it line by line;

  • We are dealing with consecutive integers; these are integers with a difference of 1 between them.

   let the first number = x

               second number  = x + 1

  • one - fifth of first;

             \frac{1}{5}x

  •   one - ninth of the second;

            \frac{1}{9}(x + 1)

for the "less" ;

         \frac{1}{5}x -  \frac{1}{9}(x + 1) = 3

Multiply through by 45

       45(\frac{1}{5}x) - (45) \frac{1}{9}(x + 1) = 3 x 45

           9x - 5(x + 1) = 135

           9x - 5x -5 = 135

             4x = 135 + 5

              4x = 140

                x = 35

Now, x+1  = 35 + 1 = 36

The consecutive integers are 35 and 36

Answer:

3. x=16

4. x=51

Step-by-step explanation:

3. 3x-8=x+24

2x=32

x=16

4. 2/3(x+27)= 180-(3x-25)

2/3x+18=180-3x+25

11/3x=187

11x=561

x=51
