a. 73 and 75b. 75 and 77c. 77 and 79

Two consecutive integers are 75 and 77

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that two consecutive odd numbers such that the sum of one-fifth of the smaller and four-sevenths of the larger is equal to fifty-nine.

we have to find the two consecutive integers.

Let two consecutive integers are x and (x+2)

Acc to question,

Hence, two consecutive integers are 75 and 77

Option B is correct

step-by-step explanation:

f

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
