Value of both the integers as three times the largest consecutive integer is 15 less than 2/3 the smallest one is -7, -9.

As given,

Let x, x +2 be two consecutive odd integers

Three times largest integer=3( x+2)

15 less than 2/3 smallest integer=(2/3)x -15

Equation :

3(x+2)=(2/ 3)x -15

⇒ 3x +6=(2x -45)/3

⇒ 9x-2x= -18 -45

⇒ 7x=-63

⇒ x =-9

and x+2 =-7

Therefore, value of both the integers as three times the largest consecutive integer is 15 less than the 2/3 the smallest one is -7, -9.
