Can it be x x +2 and x+4?
OpenStudy (midhun.madhu1987):
It cannot be be x x +2 and x+4..
because if x=2 or any even number , then the remaining numbers cannot be odd integers..
I hope you understood...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nvm it cant
OpenStudy (midhun.madhu1987):
So what I suggest is.. take the numbers as:
2x - 1 , 2x + 1 and 2x + 3
OpenStudy (sohailiftikhar):
here you asked about consecutive integers not odd integers so take
x, x+1 , x+2 etc

ohh.... i misread the question...yup then what @sohailiftikhar said is the correct one
OpenStudy (sohailiftikhar):
ok now do it your own :) if you want help tell after your work ok
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
5(x+2)=3(x+x+1)-11
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
@glitterythings whats your answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (sohailiftikhar):
no problem ..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i distributed, so 5x + 10 = 3x +3x +3 -11
is that right?
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
correct:)
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
then?
OpenStudy (sohailiftikhar):
no it's wrong

OpenStudy (sohailiftikhar):
5x+10=11-3(x+x+1)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh lol
OpenStudy (sohailiftikhar):
now solve it ..
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
no no its said 11 less than so it means 11 is subtracted from it
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
@glitterythings do the way i told you

OpenStudy (sohailiftikhar):
less means subtraction ok
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
yeah so 3 times the two integer is definitely bigger than 11 so how can you subtract that from 11??????
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
rather 11 is subtracted from 3 times the two integer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got 18
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yay thanks!

lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think i did my work wrong tho,
I did
5x + 10 = 3x+3x+3-11
5x + 10 = 6x +3 -11
5x+10 = 6x -8
??
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
x=-18
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
i'm sorry
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
my mistake

okay got it :)
but 5-6 would be -x so wouldnt it be a positive?
OpenStudy (sohailiftikhar):
lol it would be x=18 by your method
OpenStudy (anonymous):
bc of the two negatives right? lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nvm i figured it out
OpenStudy (sohailiftikhar):
5x+10=6x-8
6x-5x=10+8
x=18

OpenStudy (sohailiftikhar):
is it the correct answer huh ?
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
18 is the correct answer
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
no pls don't confuse me any more
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wellll if you switched the sides wouldnt it be -10 + -8? idk .. lol thanks though
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
@glitterythings why are you getting confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):
nvm i think im just confusing myself
OpenStudy (sohailiftikhar):
we are no switching sides we are combining the same terms
OpenStudy (anonymous):
got it :) sorrry
OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):
5x+10 = 6x -8
5x-6x=-10-8
-x=-18
x=18
OpenStudy (sohailiftikhar):
lol
