7(x + 1) - 3x = 95
7x + 7 - 3x = 95
4x = 88
x = 22
Integers are 22 and 23

consecutive intergers look like this: 1 and 2, 7 and 8, -5 and -4. The pattern is that you always add one to the 1st interger and you get the next interger. In algebra, it would look like this: 1st interger is "x" and the second interger is "x + 1" use this idea and plug in what is given in the problem.
7(x + 1) - 3(x) = 95
7x + 7 - 3x = 95
4x + 7 = 95
4x = 88
x = 22
The two numbers are 22 (x) and 23 (x+1)

7x -- 3(x -- 1) = 95
=> 4x = 92
=> x = 23
integers are 23 and 22.
7(23) -- 3(22) = 95
