Question 323156
Assign variables to your integers.
The first (or smaller) will be X
Because they are consecutive ODD integers you will add 2 to the first integer to find the second.
So the second (larger) will be X+2
"six times the larger minus two times the smaller is 152" translates to
6(x+2)-2x=152
now solve for x using order of operations
6x+12-2x=152
4x+12=152
4x=140
x=35 so 35 is your first, smaller integer.
x+2=37 so 37 is your second, larger integer.
*check*
six times the larger minus two times the smaller is 152
6(37)-2(35)=152
222-70=152
152=152
