If one-half of one integer is subtracted from three fifths of the next consecutive integer the difference is 3. What are the two integers.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "One integer = x; next integer = (x+1)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Change 3/5 to decimal: .6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".6(x+1) - .5x = 3
\n" ); document.write( ".6x + .6 - .5x = 3
\n" ); document.write( ".6x - .5x = 3 - .6
\n" ); document.write( ".1x = 2.4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2.4/.1
\n" ); document.write( "x = 24 and 25 are the two integers
