You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let the first or smaller consecutive integer = x \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the second or larger consecutive integer = x+1 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now according to equation,,,we get \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3(x) + 4(x+1) = 130\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x + 4x + 4 = 130\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7x + 4 = 130\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtracting 4 from both sides we get ...\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7x = 126\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 7 and we get\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 18\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so smaller consecutive integer = x = 18\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and Larger consecutive integer = x + 1 = 19\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "hope this will help you \r
