Three times the greater of two consecutive odd integers is five less than four times the smaller. Find the two numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "1st odd integer: 2x-1
\n" ); document.write( "Next odd integer: 2x+1
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "3(2x+1) = 4(2x-1)-5
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "6x+3 = 8x-4-5
\n" ); document.write( "6x+3 = 8x-9
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "1st odd: 2(6)-1 = 11
\n" ); document.write( "2nd odd: 2(6)+1 = 13
