Can you show the full question?
Let the smaller one is x so the larger is x+1
x(x+1)=1332
x^2+x=1332
x^2 +x -1332 =0
(x - 36)(x + 37) =0
so x = 36 or x = -37
therefor the larger integer is either 37 or -36
Its the letter G because 17.64 divided by 7 is 2.52
The difference between the 26 mile trip and 38 mile trip is 12 miles.
The difference in the price is $3.00 ($65.50 - $62.50)
So those 12 miles cost $3.00 $3.00÷12 = $.25 per mile
We can use either given trip to solve. I will use the 38 mile trip.
The difference between 38 miles and 54 miles is 16 miles. At $.25 a mile those 16 miles will add $4.00 to the price. ($.25 x 16 = $4.00)
Since the 38 mile trip costs $65.50 we add $4.00 and get $69.50 for a 54 mile trip.
