Question

When the smaller of two consecutive integers is added to four times the larger, the result is 29. Find the integers

Answer 1

Let small number = x
Let large number = y

x+4y=29
y-1=x or x+1=y

Answer 2

It is a system, solve for x and y

Answer 3

do you know how to?

Answer 4

Let x be an integer (smaller)
and x + 1 the consecutive integer (larger)

smaller of two consecutive integers is added to four times the larger
So, x is added to 4*(x + 1) to give x + 4*(x+1)

The sum is 29.

Putting that together,

x + 4*(x+1) = 29
x + 4x + 4 = 29
5x + 4 = 29 -------->@kaela_stanley --> Solve this for x. To that, add 1 to get the larger integer.
