Question

Reduce
5. twice the greater of two consecutive odd integers is 13 less than three times the
lesser. Find the integers.​

Answer 1

Answer:

17,19

Step-by-step explanation:

let two odd integers be 2x+ 1 ,2x +3

2(2x +3) = 3 (2x +1) - 13

4x + 6 = 6x + 3 - 13

2x = 16 => x = 8

therefore,

integers are 2x + 1 =2×8+1 =17

& 2x+3 = 2(8)+3 = 19
