X=5 if that's what you were asking for
In order to solve the problem 7.24/7=1.034
If the first integer is x, the second integer must be (x+1) since you know they are consecutive. So you can write:
x+(x+1)=57
2x+1=57
2x=56
x = 28 and x+1=29
28+29=57.
Answer:
347 and 865
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two number be x and y
Therefore, from the given information:
x + y = 1212
x - y = 518
Rewrite both equations to make x the subject:
x = 1212 - y
x = 518 + y
Equate equations and solve for y:
1212 - y = 518 + y
694 = 2y
y = 347
Substitute found value of y into one of the equations and solve for x:
x = 518 + 347
x = 865
Therefore, the two numbers are 347 and 865
