Set $L$ contains exactly four consecutive, positive, odd integers. The sum of the greatest integer and twice the least integer is $9$. What is the least integer in the set?
Call that least number X. Then the four consecutive odd integers are
(X), (X + 2), (X + 4), and (X + 6)
(X + 6) + (2)(X) = 9
X + 6 + 2X = 9
3X = 3
X = 1
check answer
7 + 2 = 9
9 = 9

This is obviously a homework problem. But since when has this website cared about academic honesty? Almost as much as Brainly! Lol!
+2 It's not surprising, many students love the easy way. But I understand them, because I myself am a student. I combine work with study and sometimes use the https://studydriver.com/police-brutality/ service to have time to hand in my homework while work takes a lot of time. I think this is a great option. Instead of writing an essay on police brutality, I focus on what really matters to me.
