There are two consecutive odd integers. When the difference between the larger integer and three is tripled, the result is twenty-five less than five times the smaller integer. Find the integers.
----
1st: 2x-1
2nd: 2x+1
----
Equation:
3(2x+1-3) = 5(2x-1)-25
-----
3(2x-2) = 10x-30
6x-6 = 10x-30
4x = 24
x = 6
---
1st: 2x-1 = 11
2nd: 2x+1 = 13
