Question

Find 2 consecutive positive odd integers such that 4 times the larger is 29 more

than three times the smaller?

Answer 1

• 21 and 23

Explanation:

Two integers are:

• x and x + 2

The equation and solution:

• 4(x + 2) = 3x + 29
• 4x + 8 = 3x + 29
• 4x - 3x = 29 - 8
• x = 21

And

• x + 2 = 23
