You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi, there!
.
[I] Define variables
Let n be an integer.
Then n+1 is the next greater integer.
.
[II] Write an inequality describing the given relationship(s).
The phrase, "The sum of an integer and the next greater integer," can be written as n+(n+1).
The phrase "at least 35" can be written as "greater than or equal to 35." Together, we have
.
.
Simplify and solve for n.
.
We want the least pair of such integers. The integer 17 is the smallest integer which satisfies the equation . The next greater integer is 18. We see that the sum of 17 and 18 is 35, and 35 is at least 35.
.
That's it. Feel free to email via gmail if you have questions about the solution.
