You can put this solution on YOUR website! The larger of two consecutive integers is 10 more than 4 times the smaller.
Find the integers.
:
The two integers, x and (x+1) which is the larger
x + 1 = 4x + 10
1 - 10 = 4x - x
-9 = 3x
x =
x = -3, is the smaller and -2 is the larger
:
:
Check
-3 + 1 = 4(-3) + 10
-2 = -12 + 10
