Find two consecutive odd integers such that twice the larger is 15 more than three times the smaller. Answer by simranb(63) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the two consecutive odd numbers be x and x+2
then according to the question
3(x)+15=2(x+2)
3x+15=2x+4
3x-2x=4-15
x=-11
so x+2=-11+2
=-9
So the two numbers are -11,-9
