Question 780946: find two consecutive numbers such that 5 times the smaller number is equal to 5 more than 3 times the greater number Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two consecutive numbers = n, n+1
5n = 3(n + 1) + 5
5n = 3n + 3 + 5
5n - 3n = 3 + 5
2n = 8
n = 4.
Consecutive numbers = 4, 5
Hope this helps.
