what are two consecutive odd intergers such that twice the larger, increased by the smaller, is 43
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = integer
\n" ); document.write( "and x+2 = consecutive odd integer
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The equation then becomes:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%28x%2B2%29%2Bx=43\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now let's solve for x to find the smaller integer.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B4%2Bx=43\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x=43-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x=39\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now divide by 3 on both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "Then add two to find the consecutive odd integer.
\n" ); document.write( "Once that is done, plug in these values in the original equation to check/confirm the integers make sense for the equation.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done! :) \n" ); document.write( "
