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

Answer 1

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

To solve this problem, let's break it down into smaller steps:

Step 1: Let's represent the unknown odd integer as 'x'.
Step 2: Since it is an odd integer, we can express it as 2n + 1, where 'n' represents any integer.
Step 3: The next greater even integer can be represented as 'x + 2'.
Step 4: We are given that three times the odd integer is eleven less than four times the next greater even integer. Mathematically, this can be written as:

3x = 4(x + 2) - 11

Step 5: Simplify and solve the equation for 'x':

3x = 4x + 8 - 11
3x - 4x = -3
-x = -3
x = 3

Therefore, the odd integer is 3.
