Question 1054181
<pre><b>
The other tutor didn't notice the word "odd".

Instead of doing your problem for you, I will change
twenty to thirty-two.  You can then use it as a model to do
yours.
</pre>
Write and solve an equation to find two consecutive 
odd integers such that their sum is thirty-two.
`
...find two consecutive odd integers...
<pre>
Smaller odd integer = x
Larger odd integer = x+2
</pre>
...their sum is thirty-two.
<pre>
x + (x+2) = 32
x + x + 2 = 32
   2x + 2 = 32
       2x = 30
        x = 15

Smaller odd integer = x = 15
Larger odd integer = x+2 = 15+2 = 17

They are 15 and 17.

Now do your problem exactly the same way.
