Find the lesser of the two consecutive integers with a sum greater than 16

Let n be an integer number, the next integer number is n+1. These numbers n and n+1 are two consecutive integers.

Their sum is n+n+1=2n+1 and is greater than 16, thus

2n+1>16.

Solve this inequality:

2n>16-1,

2n>15,

n>7.5.

Since n is integer, then the smallest integer that sutisfies this inequality is 8 and the next n+1=8+1=9.

the lesser of two consecutive integers is 8.

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

a line is an defined derm because it

a)contains an infinite number of points b) can be used to create other geometric shapes c)describes something that does not have width or depth d) is a term that does not have a formal definition. a line is an undefined term because it: contains an infinite number of points.
