One integer is four more than another integer. The sum of the integers is twenty six. Find the integers
15 and 11.
If this is homework, be sure to show your work.
SOURCE: Two consecutive even integers such that the
We'll call x the smaller integer and y the larger. So we know x+3y=22. We can rearrange this to say:
x=22-3y. Now we guess, I'll guess y=6, now we solve and get x=22-3(6)=4. 4 and 6 are two even consecutive integers! So the answer is 4 and 6.
