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

it would not be increasing by nothing that i can see probably by 25 percent that is all i can sat\y for now if i have any thing else to say i will edit this.

step-by-step explanation:

we can set up an equation to find the girls' ages. the equation is         28=0.5x-5+x. (comment if you need me to explain how i got this equation.) so, you add x and 0.5x to get 1.5x and add 5 to each side. your new equation is 33=1.5x. now divide both sides of the equation by 1.5 to get 22=x. because x is mary's age, to find jasmine's age we subtract mary's age from 28. we find that mary is 22 years old and jasmine is 6 years old.
