consecutive integers means one number right after another for example 1 and 2 or 5 and 6.
\n" ); document.write( "so we have (x) and (x+1)
\n" ); document.write( "sum of smaller and twice the larger is 47
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%29%2B2%28x%2B1%29=47\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2B2x%2B2=47\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x%2B2=47\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x=45\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=15\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and x+1=15+1=16
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
