Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the integer is n, half of it is n/2. The next integer is (n+1) and 1/3 of it is (n+1)/3. You want ...

  n/2 - (n+1)/3 = 1

  n(1/2 -1/3) -1/3 = 1

  n/6 = 4/3 . . . . . . . . add 1/3, simplify

  n = 6(4/3) = 8

The integer is 8.
