Let the consecutive integers be x and x+1
x+2(x+1)=74
or x+2x+2=74
3x=74-2=72
x=72/3=24
x+1=24+1=25
hence numbers are 24 and 25

Consecutive integers are 1 apart
they are x and x+1

sum of firt and twice the 2nd is 74
sum is addition
twice is 2 times

x+2(x+1)=74
distribute
x+2x+2=74
add like terms
3x+2=74
minus 2 both sides
3x=72
divide both sides by 3
x=24
x+1=25

the numbers are 24 and 25

You are running a concession stand at a basketball game. You are selling hot

Nuetrik [128]

x= hot dogs

y= soda

Total sold

1 x + 1 y = 87 .............1

2 x 0.50 y = 78.50 .............2

Eliminate y

multiply (1)by -0.50

Multiply (2) by 1.00

-0.50 x -0.50 y = -43.50

2 x + 0.50 y = 78.50

Add the two equations

1 x = 35.00

/ 1

x = 35.00

plug value of x in (1)

1 x + 1 y = 87

35 + y = 87

y = 87 -35

y = 52

y = 52.00

x= 35 hot dogs

y= 52 soda
