Question

the sum of 2 consecutive integers is three times their difference what is the larger number​

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive integers be x , x+1

Sum : x + x +1 = 2x + 1

Difference: (x +1) - 1 = x + 1 - 1 = x

Sum = 3 times their difference

2x + 1 = 3 * x

2x + 1 = 3x    

      1 = 3x - 2x

     1 = x

The numbers are 1 , 2
