The sum of two consective numbers is divided by their positive difference is equal to 9. Find the larger number
Answered by oobleck
The difference between two consecutive integers is 1, right?
If x is the larger, then x-1 is the smaller. So,
(x-1 + x)/(1) = 9
x = 5

Check: 4+5 = 9

Kinda stupid, setting it up so you divide by 1. Just sayin' ...
Answered by Reiny
x+(x+1) / |x-(x+1)| = 9
2x+1 = 9
x = 4
the two number are 4 and 5.
Answered by henry2,
(x + (x+1))/((x+1)-x) = 9
x+x+1 = 9x+9-9x
2x = 8
X = 4 = smaller number.
x+1 = 5 = larger number.
