If three times the smaller of two consecutive integers is added to four times the larger, the result is 88. Find the smaller integer. \n" ); document.write( "---------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Let smaller be x \n" ); document.write( "Then larger is x+1 \n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "3x+4(x+1) = 88 \n" ); document.write( "3x+4x+4 = 88 \n" ); document.write( "7x = 84 \n" ); document.write( "x = 12 (the smaller) \n" ); document.write( "x+1 = 13 (the larger) \n" ); document.write( "========================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "====================== \n" ); document.write( " |
