Question 158534
Let {{{x}}} = smaller number
{{{x+1}}}=  bigger number
consecutive whole numbers{{{system(x,x+1)}}}
Then,
{{{5(x+1)-x=57}}} -----------> condition: smaller subtracted from 5 times the bigger.
{{{5x+5-x=57}}}
{{{4x=57-5=52}}}
{{{cross(4)x/cross(4)=cross(52)13/cross(4)}}}
{{{x=13}}} ----------------------> smaller number
{{{13+1=14}}} -------------------> bigger number
In doubt? go back to the condition,
{{{5(14)-13=57}}}
{{{70-13=57}}}
{{{57=57}}}
thank you,
