put this solution on YOUR website! .
There are two consecutive integers . Twice the first increased by the second yields 16 . What are the numbers ?
From what I read from the website I know that consecutive means repeating and its goes like x + x+2 ...
But I am really confused thank you for helping me .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
If the smallest of two consecutive integers is "x", then the next consecutive is (x+1).
Twice the first is 2x.
Twice the first increased by the second is 2x+(x+1) = 3x+1.
The equation is 3x+1 = 16.
The solution is x=5.
The numbers are 5 and 6.
