Question

Need to use the D V P E S format to solve this problem.

Answer 1

Coni,

 

I am not familiar with the accronym DVPES format.. but here is how I would solve this one....

 

The smaller of the integers is x, the larger of the integers is x+1.

 

3x+4(x+1)=46

3x+4x+4=46

7x+4=46

7x=42

x=6
