Question

four less than twice the smaller number of two consecutive odd integers is eleven more than the larger odd integers i'm having trouble setting it up

Answer 1

"two consecutive odd integers"
x and x + 2
"twice the small number"
2x
"4 less"
2x - 4
"is"
2x - 4 =
"larger interger"
x + 2
"eleven more"
x + 2 + 11

So...
2x - 4 = x + 2 + 11
