Find two consecutive integers
\n" ); document.write( "n, (n+1)
\n" ); document.write( " such that three times the second integer is fourteen less than five times the first integer.
\n" ); document.write( "3(n+1) = 5n - 14
\n" ); document.write( "3n + 3 = 5n - 14
\n" ); document.write( "3 + 14 = 5n - 3n
\n" ); document.write( "17 = 2n
\n" ); document.write( "n = 17/2
\n" ); document.write( "n = 8.5; obviously something wrong here.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "They do satisfy the equation but are not integers. A bad problem\r
