If we have two consecutive integers, then we can say:
\n" ); document.write( "x = integer
\n" ); document.write( "x+1 = consecutive integer
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Since the smaller one is five more than one half of its consecutive, our formula would be:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=%28%28x%2B1%29%2F2%29%2B5\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for x, then you will also be able to know which is it's consecutive integer.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-5=%28%28x%2B1%29%2F2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%28x-5%29=x%2B1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-10=x%2B1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-x=1%2B10\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "I'll let you finish it. :) \n" ); document.write( "
