Hello there!


The larger integer is 114.

x + (x + 2) = 226  

Combine like terms

2x + 2 = 226  

Subtract 2 from both sides

2x = 224   Divide

x = 112

The two integers are 112 and 114. But they asked us for the lager integer. So 114 is the answer.


I hope this helps! As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you!
