Question 16394
Two consecutive odd numbers.  Five less than twice the smaller is equal to four more than the larger.  Find the two numbers
Our odd numbers will be;
x, x+2
Five less than twice the smaller is equal to;
2x-5=
four more than the larger
(x+2)+4
Now but them together;
2x-5=(x+2)+4
2x-5=x+6
2x-x=6+5
x=11
x+2=13
So the odd numbers are;
11, 13
Hope you understand;
