Question 68683: If one-half of one integer is subtracted from 3/5 of the next consecutive integer, the difference is 3. What are the two integers? I have tried the following but I do not know if it is correct. Can you help me?
3/5 - 1/2 = 3
10 x 3/5 - 10 x 1/2 = 10 x 3

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
n = the 1st number
n+1 = the 2nd number
%283%2F5%29%2A%28n%2B1%29+-+n%2F2+=+3
6%28n%2B1%29+-+5n+=+30
6n+%2B+6+-+5n+=+30
n+=+24 answer
n%2B1+=+25 answer
check
%283%2F5%29%2A%28n%2B1%29+-+n%2F2+=+3
%283%2F5%29%2A25+-+24%2F2+=+3
15+-+12+=+3
3+=+3
OK
