NUMBER RELATION PROBLEM


PROBLEM 1: Find two consecutive odd numbers such that thrice the smaller number exceeds the larger by twelve.
SOLUTION:

 Let x = 1st odd number


X + 2 = 2nd odd number

 3x – 12 = x + 12
2x = 14
2 2
X=7 1st odd number

 X+2
7+2=9 2nd odd number

 3x -12 = x + 2
3 (7) – 12 = 7+2
9=9
Reference: Discussed in the class

NUMBER RELATION PROBLEM


PROBLEM 2: Find two consecutive even positive integers whose product is 288.
SOLUTION:

 Let x = 1st positive even integer


X + 2 = 2nd positive even integer

 x (x + 2) = 288
X2 + 2x = 288
X2+ 2x – 288 = 0
(x-16) (x+18) = 0
X = 16 1st positive even integer
X= -18

 x+2
16 + 2 = 18 2nd positive even integer

 16 x 18 = 288

NUMBER RELATION PROBLEM
PROBLEM 3: Find two consecutive positive integers whose product is 462.
SOLUTION:

 Let x = 1st positive integer


X + 1 = 2nd positive integer

 x (x + 1) = 462
X2 + x = 462
X2+ x – 462 = 0
(x-21) (x+22) = 0
X = 21 1st positive integer
X= -22

 x+1
21 + 1 = 22 2nd positive integer

 x2 + x – 462 = 0
212 + 21 – 462 = 0
462 – 462 = 0
0=0

NUMBER RELATION PROBLEM


PROBLEM 4: If twice a number is decreased by 13, the result is 9. What is the number?
SOLUTION:

 Let x = the number

 2x – 13 = 9
2x = 9 + 13
2x = 22
2 2
X = 11 the number

Reference: Discussed in the class


NUMBER RELATION PROBLEM
PROBLEM 5: Seven less than twice a number is 15. What is the number?
SOLUTION:

 Let x = the number

 2x – 7 = 15
2x = 15 + 7
2x = 22
2 2
X = 11 the number

Reference: Discussed in the class

NUMBER RELATION PROBLEM


PROBLEM 6: The sum of two numbers is 39. Their difference is 7. What are the numbers?
SOLUTION:

 Let x = first number


y = second number

 x + y = 39
x–y= 7
2x = 46
2 2
X = 23 first unknown number

Substitute.

 x + y = 39
23 + y = 39
y = 39 – 23
y = 16 second unknown number

Reference: Discussed in the class


NUMBER RELATION PROBLEM
PROBLEM 7: The sum of two numbers is 24. The greater number is 10 more than the smaller. What are the numbers?
SOLUTION:

 Let x = smaller number


y = larger number

 x + y = 24
y = x + 10

Transpose.

 x + y = 24
-x + y = 10
2y = 34
2 2
y = 17 larger number

Substitute.

 x + y = 24
x + 17 = 24
x = 24 – 17
x=7 smaller number

Reference: Discussed in the class

NUMBER RELATION PROBLEM


PROBLEM 8: The sum of two consecutive integers is 73. What are the numbers?
SOLUTION:

 Let x = 1st positive integer


X + 1 = 2nd positive integer

 x + x + 1 = 73
2x = 73 -1
2x = 72
2 2
X = 36 first positive integer

 x+1
36 + 1 = 37 second positive integer

 x + x + 1= 73
36+ 36+ 1 = 73
73 = 73
Reference: Discussed in the class
NUMBER RELATION PROBLEM
PROBLEM 9: The sum of two consecutive even integers is 62. What are the numbers?
SOLUTION:

 Let x = 1st even integer


X + 2 = 2nd even integer

 x + x + 2 = 62
2x = 62 - 2
2x = 60
2 2
X = 30 first even integer

 x+2
30 + 2 = 32 second even integer

 x + x + 2 = 62
30 + 30 + 2 = 62
62 = 62
Reference: Discussed in the class

NUMBER RELATION PROBLEM


PROBLEM 10: Find two consecutive odd integers whose sum is 40.
SOLUTION:

 Let x = 1st odd integer


X + 2 = 2nd odd integer

 x + x + 2 = 40
2x = 40 - 2
2x = 38
2 2
X = 19 first even integer

 x+2
19 + 2 = 21 second even integer

 x + x + 2 = 40
19 + 19 + 2 = 40
40 = 40
