Question 225314: My question is: Nine times the first of two consecutive odd integers equals seven times the second. Find the integers. And which lesson do I click on to get help with this type of problem. My instructor lost me last week and I am barely passing. We are moving onto Geometry equations. I will need help with that as well. Thank you

if n="1st integer", then n+2="2nd integer"

9(n) = 7(n+2)

distributing ___ 9n = 7n + 14

subtracting 7n ___ 2n = 14

dividing by 2 ___ n = 7

the integers are 7 and 9
