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' ...
The sum of two consective numbers is divided by their positive difference is equal to 9. Find the larger number

x+(x+1) / |x-(x+1)| = 9
2x+1 = 9
x = 4
the two number are 4 and 5.
2x+1 = 9
x = 4
the two number are 4 and 5.
(x + (x+1))/((x+1)-x) = 9
x+x+1 = 9x+9-9x
2x = 8
X = 4 = smaller number.
x+1 = 5 = larger number.
x+x+1 = 9x+9-9x
2x = 8
X = 4 = smaller number.
x+1 = 5 = larger number.
