<PRE><B>Question 1004846</B>
let x and x+1 be our consecutive integers, then
(x/2) + 5(x+1) = 7(x-1)
(x/2) + 5x +5 = 7x -7
add 7 to both sides of =
(x/2) +5x +12 = 7x
multiply both sides of = by 2
x +10x +24 = 14x
11x +24 = 14x
subtract 11x from both sides of =
3x = 24
x = 8
*************************************************
our two consecutive integers are 8 and 9
check the answer
(8/2) + 5(9) = 7(8-1)
49 = 49
our answer checks
