Answer:x=7
Step-by-step explanation: Set up 3x-1 equal to 20
Then do your usual distributing.
Since we know the amounts of each check, what I find easiest to do is add the amounts from each check to get an amount of $528.97. Once I've done that, I subtract the amount he received, $42.00 from the $528.97 to get a total deposit amount of $486.97
Let the consecutive odd numbers be( x) and (x+2).
According to given condition.
(x)+(x+2) =284
solving x+x+2 =284
2x+ 2 =284
subtracting 2 both sides
2x+ 2-2 =284-2
2x =282
dividing 2 both sides
x=141
as the second integer is (x+2) so
x+2 =141+2= 143
so integers are 141 and 143.
