Question 398410
If {{{x}}} is any number, then {{{x}}} and {{{x + 1}}} are consecutive numbers.

given:


difference of {{{5}}} times of smaller ({{{5x}}}) and {{{4}}} times of bigger ({{{4(x + 1)}}}) is 3

so, we have:

{{{5x - 4(x + 1) = 3}}}

{{{5x -4x -4 = 3}}}

{{{x = 3+4}}}

{{{x = 7}}}.........{{{x + 1=8}}...your numbers are {{{7}}} an {{{8}}}

check:

{{{5x - 4(x + 1) = 3}}}

{{{5*7 - 4(7 + 1) = 3}}}

{{{35- 4(8) = 3}}}

{{{35- 32 = 3}}}

{{{3 = 3}}}
