the inegers are the 2 that your trying to find the difference of...it makes no sense..you didn't finish writing the problem either..
(3/4)(x+1) - (1/2)x = 3
3(x+1) - 2x = 12
3x + 3 - 2x = 12
x = 9
So the two integers are 9 and 10
check:
3/4(10) - 1/2(9)
=15/2 - 9/2
= 3
3(x+1) - 2x = 12
3x + 3 - 2x = 12
x = 9
So the two integers are 9 and 10
check:
3/4(10) - 1/2(9)
=15/2 - 9/2
= 3
5+(-8)=?
