You can put this solution on YOUR website! the sum of two integers is greater than 12, one integer is ten less than twice the other. what are the least values of the integers?
.
Let x = one integer
and y = other integer
.
x+y > 12
x = 2y-10
.
2y-10 + y > 12
3y-10 > 12
3y > 22
y > 22/3
.
The smallest integer value of y is 8.
.
to find x:
x = 2y-10
x = 2(8)-10
x = 16-10
x = 6
.
The two integers: 6 and 8
