Two consecutive odd numbers. Five less than twice the smaller is equal to four more than the larger. Find the two numbers
\n" ); document.write( "Our odd numbers will be;
\n" ); document.write( "x, x+2
\n" ); document.write( "Five less than twice the smaller is equal to;
\n" ); document.write( "2x-5=
\n" ); document.write( "four more than the larger
\n" ); document.write( "(x+2)+4
\n" ); document.write( "Now but them together;
\n" ); document.write( "2x-5=(x+2)+4
\n" ); document.write( "2x-5=x+6
\n" ); document.write( "2x-x=6+5
\n" ); document.write( "x=11
\n" ); document.write( "x+2=13
\n" ); document.write( "So the odd numbers are;
\n" ); document.write( "11, 13
\n" ); document.write( "Hope you understand;
\n" ); document.write( "=) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
