Let x = integer
\n" ); document.write( "Let x+1 = the consecutive integer\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If seven times the larger of two consecutive integers is forty three less than eight times the smaller, the equation becomes: $\"7%28x%2B1%29=8x-43\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for x, then check your answer.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7%28x%2B1%29=8x-43\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7x%2B7=8x-43\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7%2B43=8x-7x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"50=x\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7%28x%2B1%29=8x-43\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7%2850%2B1%29=%288%2A50%29-43\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7%2A51=400-43\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"357=357\"$ The answer checks!\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Your integers are: 50 and 51 \n" ); document.write( "
