Algebra.Com's Answer #352256 by oberobic(2304)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Four consecutive odd integers can be defined as: \n" ); document.write( "x \n" ); document.write( "x+2 \n" ); document.write( "x+4 \n" ); document.write( "x+6 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "The sum of the second and fourth: x+2 + x+6 = 2x+8. \n" ); document.write( "Is 63 more than 1/5*(x+4). \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "2x+8-63 = 1/5*(x+4) \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "2x -55 = 1/5(x+4) \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 5 to eliminate fraction \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "5(2x -55) = 5/5*(x+4) \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "10x -275 = x + 4 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "9x = 279 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "x = 31 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "So the four consecutive odd integers are: 31, 33, 35, and 37. \n" ); document.write( " |
