three times an odd integer is eleven less than four times the next greater even integer. What is the odd integer?

2 answers

n = even number

n - 1 = odd number

3 ( n - 1 ) = 4 n - 11

3 n - 3 = 4 n - 11 Subtract 3 n to both sides

3 n - 3 - 3 n = 4 n - 11 - 3 n

- 3 = n - 11 Add 11 to both sides

- 3 + 11 = n - 11 + 11

8 = n

n = 8 = even number

n - 1 = 7 = odd number
