Question

5 times an integer is 20 more than 4 times the next consecutive even integer. what are the two integers?

Answer 1

first, lets write this into an equation.

Answer 2

how?

Answer 3

its easy. 5*x +20*4=n

Answer 4

Ill solve the equation for you.

Answer 5

multiply the 20 by 4: 20*4=80

Answer 6

ohhh thank you so much!
so then do I multiply the 80 by 2 to get my next integer?

Answer 7

No, we reorder the terms. 80+5x = n

Answer 8

we add 80 to each side of the equation. 80 + -80 + 5x = -80 + n

Answer 9

then, we combine like terms: 80+80=0
0+5x=80+n

Answer 10

we divide each side by 5: x = -16 + 0.2n

Answer 11

finally, we simplify: x = 16 + 0.2n

Answer 12

ohhhhh okay thank you very much!

Answer 13

write these steps down, and study, you will get it if you study it.
