The value of the greater integer is 9
<h3>How to determine the value of the greater integer?</h3>
From the question, the statement is given as
<em>An integer is subtracted from 5 times the next consecutive odd integer, the difference is 38</em>
<em />
Represent the integer with x
So, we have the following representation
x is subtracted from 5 times the (x + 2), the difference is 38
When represented as an equation, we have
5(x + 2) -x = 38
Open the brackets
5x + 10 - x = 38
Evaluate the like terms
4x = 28
Divide by 4
x = 7
The next odd integer is x + 2
So, we have
x + 2 = 7 + 2
Evaluate
x + 2 = 9
Hence, the solution is 9
