Question

One integer is four more than another integer. The sum of the two integers is 246. Find the integers.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let one integer is x then other integer is x+4

now, x+x+4=246

2x+4=246

2x=242

x=121

now, one integer is 121 and other is 121+4=125

Answer 2

Given in the question that difference between the two integers is 4 and the sum of the two integers is 246.

Let the larger integer be equal to x and the smaller integer be y.

Sum of the integers = 246 = x + y

=> 246 = x + y -------(1)

Difference of the integers = 4 = x - y

=> x - y = 4 -------(2)

Substituting the value of x ( x = 246 - y) from equation (1) in the equation (2)

=> (246 - y) - y = 4

=> 2y = 242

=> y = 121

x = 246-121 = 125

The two integers are 121 and 125.
