find two consecutive odd integers such that 20 more then the first is three times the second

Question

find two consecutive integers touch that five times a smaller is four times the larger

Answer 1

let the integers be n and n+2

(they must be two apart)

then n+20 = 3(n+2)

therefore n+20 = 3n+6

therefore 2n = 14

hence n = 7 and n+2 = 9

the pair is 7 and 9

indeed: 7+20 = 3*9
