Question 424911: find two consecutive whole numbers, where 3/4 of the first number is 5 more then 1/2 the second number? let n represent the first number, and n + 1 the second number? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3n/4 =1/2*(n+1) +5
multiply the equation by 2
6n/4 = n+1+10
3n/2 = n+11
multiply by 2
3n=2n+22
3n-2n=22
n=22
