Answer:
-2 and -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the large integer and S represent the smaller integer
Given Large Integer = 10 + 4 times Smaller Integer
Mathematically:
L = 10 + 4S -------eq 1
It is also given that the integers are consecutive,
hence L = S + 1------ eq2
Now we can solve a system of equations by substitution.
Substitute eq 2 into eq 1
S + 1 = 10 + 4S (subtract 1 from both sides)
S = 10 - 1 + 4S
S = 9 + 4S (subtract 4S from both sides)
S - 4S = 9
-3S = 9 (divide both sides by -3)
S = 9 / (-3) = -3 (answer)
form equation 2,
L = S + 1
L = -3 + 1
L = -2 (answer)
