Question 77737: Number problem. If one-half of one integer is subtracted from three-fifths of the next consecutive integer, the difference is 3. What are the two integers? Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let n equal one integer, then n+1 equals the next consecutive integer...translating from English to algebrese...
...multiplying by 10 gives...6(n+1)-5n=30...n+6=30...so n=24 and n+1=25
