Question

A larger integer is 1 more than twice the other integer. If the sum of the integer is 25, find the integer. Also. verify your answer ​

Answer 1

$\bf{\large{solution:-}}$

Let the smaller integer be x

So, the larger one be 2x + 1

Sum of the Integers = 25

According to Question,

x + (2x + 1) = 25

=> 3x = 25 - 1 = 24

=> x = 24/3 = 8

Larger Integer = 2x + 1

= 2(8) + 1

= 16 + 1

= 17

Hence, The integers are 8 and 17

$\bf{\large{prove:-}}$

Sum of integers = 25

8 + 17 = 25

Hence, It is proved.
