You can put this solution on YOUR website! Twice the greater of two consecutive odd integers is 13 less than three times the lesser. Find the integers.
----
Lesser: 2x+1
Greater:2x+3
------------------
Equation:
2(2x+3) = 3(2x+1)-13
4x+6 = 6x+3-13
2x = 16
x = 8
-----------------
Lesser: 2x+1 = 17
Greater: 2x+3 = 19
