Question 1054958
.
There are two consecutive integers . Twice the first increased by the second yields 16 . What are the numbers ? 
From what I read from the website I know that consecutive means repeating and its goes like x + x+2 ... 
But I am really confused thank you for helping me .

<pre>
If the smallest of two consecutive integers is "x", then the next consecutive is (x+1).

Twice the first is 2x.
Twice the first increased by the second is 2x+(x+1) = 3x+1.


The equation is 3x+1 = 16.
The solution is x=5.

The numbers are 5 and 6.
