Find two consecutive whole numbers such that 4/7 of the larger exceeds 1/2 of the smaller by 5

The consecutive numbers are 62 and 63

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the larger number be represented by x and the smaller number by y,

Provided they are consecutive numbers;

--- Equation 1

From the question; we have that

--- Equation 2

Required

Find x and y

Multiply both sides of equation 2 by 14

---- Equation 3

Substitute y + 1 for x in equation 2

Open bracket

Collect like terms

So,

Hence, the consecutive numbers are 62 and 63

because 1.2 isnt half of 6 duh

is it 35
