Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
n=−5
Step-by-step explanation:
n−4−3n=3n+6−3n
−2n−4=6
Step 2: Add 4 to both sides.
−2n−4+4=6+4
−2n=10
Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.
−2n
/−2
= 10
/−2
n=−5
The small number is 2.
The large number is 3.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let the two consecutive numbers be x and x+1.
- x be the small integer.
- x+1 be the large integer.
The sum of these two consecutive integers = small integer + large integer
The sum of these two consecutive integers is x+x+1 = (2x+1)
It is given that,
- The sum of two consecutive integers is one less than three times the smaller integer.
- This means that, (2x+1) is one less than three times the smaller integer.
- Here, the small integer is represented as x.
<u>Therefore, it can determined that :</u>
(2x+1) = 3x-1
Keeping x term on one side and constants on other side,
3x-2x = 1+1
x = 2
Therefore, the small number is 2 and the large number is x+1 = 3.
