Question

if the smaller of two consecutive intergers is subtracted from two times the larger then the result is 17 . find the intergers

Answer 1

Two consecutive integers (x) and (x+1)
2 (x+1) - (x) = 17
2x + 2 - x = 17
x + 2= 17
x + 2 - 2 = 17 - 2
x=15
and x + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16

15, 16 are your numbers.
