Question 1093448: Can someone please help me find the value of these integers: Twice the smaller of two consecutive odd integers is seven more than the larger.Please use x as the variable.
I already have this:
Integer 1 = x
Integer 2 = x+2
I just cant figure out where to place the numbers and variables to make it work out.
