Question

Eleven less than four times the smaller of two consecutive odd integers is three times the larger integer. Find the two integers.

Answer 1

ill give metals!

Answer 2

Let x = first odd integer (smaller)
x+2 = second odd integer (larger)

3(x+2) = 4x-5
3x+ 6 = 4x -5

Subtract 3x from each side:
3x-3x + 6 = 4x-3x -5
6=x-5

Add +5 to each side:
6+5= x-5+5
11=x
x+2= 13.

Answer 3

Smaller = 11, Larger = 13.

Check:
Three times the larger is five less than 4 times the smaller.
3(13)= 4(11) -5
39= 44-5
