Let
\n" ); document.write( "Smaller odd Integer = x+1
\n" ); document.write( "Larger odd Integer = x+3
\n" ); document.write( "==========================================
\n" ); document.write( "Given
\n" ); document.write( "(x+3)+8(x+1)=119
\n" ); document.write( "x+3+8x+8=119
\n" ); document.write( "9x+11=119
\n" ); document.write( "9x+11=119
\n" ); document.write( "9x=119-11
\n" ); document.write( "9x=108
\n" ); document.write( "x=108/9
\n" ); document.write( "x=12
\n" ); document.write( "===========================================
\n" ); document.write( "Smaller odd Integer = x+1=12+1=13
\n" ); document.write( "Larger odd Integer = x+3=12+3=15
\n" ); document.write( "========================================
\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "15+8(13)=119
\n" ); document.write( "15+104=119
\n" ); document.write( "119=119
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
