1.
\n" ); document.write( "67.1 = 29.7 - 0.2W Subtract 29.7 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "37.4 = -0.2W divide both sides by -0.2
\n" ); document.write( "-187 = W
\n" ); document.write( "

\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a. Consecutive integers are integers that are one after the other, so if X is the smaller of two integers, then the next integer is simply X + 1. ( if you have 5 how do you get to the next larger integer by arithmatic? Add 1 )
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "b. our two integers are X and X + 1, add them together and set equal to 41
\n" ); document.write( "X + ( X + 1 ) = 41
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "c. Solve by first combining like terms
\n" ); document.write( "2X + 1 = 41 Subtract 1 on both sides
\n" ); document.write( "2X = 40 Divide by 2 on both sides
\n" ); document.write( "X = 20\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If X = 20, then 20 is your smaller integer, so the larger integer X + 1 is 20 + 1 or 21.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Betty's two numbers are 20 and 21 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
