so two consecutive odd ryt?

So...

7 < x+(x+2) < 17

7 < 2x+2 < 17

Subtract all sides by 2

5 < 2x < 15

Divide both side by 2

5/2 (1.25) < x < 15/2 (7.5)

Which pair of integers does not solve this problem ? Any even number between 5/2 and 15/2.. simply bcuz its even x is suppose to be an odd integer ^.^
