Question

When an integer is subtracted from 7 times next consecutive even integer, the difference is 50. Find the value of the lesser integer

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of lesser integer will come out to be 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required lesser integer be x and its even consecutive integer would become x+2 .

What is a consecutive number?

A number is said to be consecutive if it follows a order after other number either an even number or an odd number.

Following equations will be in order;

$7(x+2)-x = 50$

Solving the above equation we get

$7x+14-x = 50$

$6x+14=50$

$6x= 50-14= 36$

$x = 6$

And,

$x+2 = 8$

Hence the value of lesser integer will come out to be 6.
