Let the two numbers be n & n+2(obviously the difference between 2 consequtive odd numbers is 2)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "according to question 2x(Bigger no.) = 13 less than 3x(n) \n" ); document.write( "or 2x(n+2)= 3n-13 \n" ); document.write( "n=17 \n" ); document.write( "the no. are 17 & 19\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In algebra after we have identified the needed variable, we should understand question to frame the equation. Leave fear on one side while attempting mathematics and it becomes commonsense.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
