Question 956704: Please help me with this :(
For two consecutive odd numbers, the sum is twice the first and three times the second is 61. What are the numbers?
Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let x be the first odd integer, then the next odd integer is x+2, therefore
2x +3(x+2) = 61
5x +6 = 61
5x = 55
x = 11
the two odd consecutive integers are 11 and 13
