Find two consecutive natural numbers,such that one third of the smaller numbers is one more than one fourth of the greater.
.
Let x = first of two consecutive numbers (smaller)
then
x+1 = second of two consecutive numbers (larger)
.
(1/3)x = (1/4)(x+1)
Multiplying both sides by 12 (common denominator):
4x = 3(x+1)
4x = 3x+3
x = 3 (smaller number)
.
Larger number:
x+1 = 3+1 = 4
.
The two consecutive numbers are: 3 and 4
