find the smaller number of two consecutive odd numbers such that the sum of the larger numbers and twice the smaller number is 27 less than four times the smaller number​

Respuesta :

Answer: 29

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x

Let the bigger number be x+2

The information given in the question can be represented in a equation as:

x + 2 + 2x = 4x - 27

3x + 2 = 4x - 27

4x - 3x = 27 + 2

x = 29

The smaller number is 29
