Find two consecutive integers such that four times the larger exceeds three times the smaller by 23.
-----------------------
1st "x"
2nd "x+1"
---------------------------
Equation:
4(x+1) - 3x = 23
x = 19 (1st)
x+1 = 20 (2nd)

Call the smaller integer
The next larger integer is
The numbers are 19 and 20
check:
OK

Let x be the first integer.
So the second integer is x+1
The description of the problems leads to the inequality
4*(x+1)>3*x+23 Since x+1 is greater than x
Simplifyling, we have
4x+4>3x+23
4x-3x>23-4
x>19
So x = 20 and x = 21 works
