Question 53600
if one-third of an integer is added to one-half of the next consecutive integer, the difference is 3.  What are the two integers?
---------------------
Let the 1st integer be "x".
The next consecutive integer is "x+1".
Now you need an equation.
But your word statement says "added" and then says "difference".
You can't have it both ways.
