Find the smaller of two consecutive integers, x, if the sum of the smaller and two times larger is 14. write an equation and solve

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive integers are  e.g.  1, 2, 3, 4, ...

So they are 1 units apart.

If we let one of the integers be "x", then the next consecutive one would be "x + 1".

x is the smaller

x + 1 is the larger

of the two...

Now,

The sum of smaller (x) and 2 TIMES larger (x + 1) is 14, so we can write:

We use algebra and solve for x:

So, the two numbers is 4  &  5

smaller of the two numbers is "4"

step-by-step explanation:

. your answer will contain x - and y -terms. (1 point) x ( ¿¿ 2 − 7 ) 2 +( y 2 − 9 ) 2 √ ¿ 12. what is the distance from the directrix (the crocodile river) to the point ( x , y )? write this equation. your answer will contain a y -term.
