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

Explain this diagram.
spayn [35]

The shape that we have here is sued to show the infinite geometric progression.

<h3>What is geometric progression?</h3>

This is the sequence of numbers that has all the other values in the sequence gotten by the multiplication of a certain factor

In this question or the shape we can see that the triangle is made up of smaller other triangles embedded in it.

The area of the traingle that is in the red color is seen to have been made up of 1/3 of the total triangles that we have in the shape. This can be seen to be similar as the triangles that are represented by the green and the blue color.

Putting a  lot of triangles inside one big triangle gives up a pictorial diagram on how to add infinite amount of things up.
