Respuesta :
x - a smaller number
(x+1) - a larger number
3(x+1) - 2x = 34
3x + 3 - 2x = 34
x= 31
(x+1) = 32
Answer: larger = 32 and smaller = 31
Step-by-step explanation:
let's call the smaller x. The larger must be x+1, because they are consecutives.
3 times the larger exceeds twice the smaller by 34, so:
3(x+1) = 2x+34
3x+3=2x+34
3x-2x=34-3
x=31
x+1 = 32
Checking:
3.32 = 92
3.31+34 = 96 ok
