Remember consecutive numbers can be written as n and n+1 (the larger being n+1)
\n" ); document.write( "n + 4(n+1) = 34
\n" ); document.write( "n + 4n + 4 = 34
\n" ); document.write( "5n + 4 = 34
\n" ); document.write( "5n + 4 - 4 = 34 - 4
\n" ); document.write( "5n = 30
\n" ); document.write( "5n/5 = 30/5
\n" ); document.write( "n = 6
\n" ); document.write( "n+1 = 7 \n" ); document.write( "
