Let the two odd consecutive integers be: x, (x+2)
Write an equation for what it says:
"twice the greater of two consecutive odd integers is 13 less than three times the lesser number."
2(x+2) = 3x - 13
2x + 4 = 3x - 13
4 + 13 = 3x - 2x
17 = x
:
The two numbers, 17, 19
:
Check solution in the given statement
2(19) = 3(17) - 13
38 = 51 - 13
