Answer:
7
Explanation:
Let x be the "integer." We'll assume it is odd.
The next consecutive odd integer would be x+2.
(2(x+2) - x) =9 [When an integer is subtracted from 2 times the next consecutive odd integer the difference is 9]
(2(x+2) - x) =9
(2x+4) - x) =9
x+4 =9
x = 5
The greater integer is x+2 or 7
Check:
If 5 is subtracted from 2 times the next consecutive odd integer, 7, is the difference 9?
2*7 - 5 = 9?
14 - 5 = 9?
14 - 5 = 9? YES
