find two consecutive integers such that ten more than twice the smaller is seven less than three times the larger

1 answer:

6 0

This is how I would work it out:

1st no. = x+1 2x+10=3(x+1)-7
2nd no. = x 2x+10=3x-4
x=14

1st no. is 15; 2nd no. is 14

To check: 28+10=38; three times the larger is 45; and 38 is 7 less than 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing exponential terms of the same base, we can simply subtract the exponents, therefore:

$\frac{x^{6} }{x^{8} } = x^{(6-8)} = x^{-2}$
