Ineed i don’t understand i tried a billion times

One number is 4 less than 3 times another. Their sum is 16. Find the smaller.

y + (3y - 4) = 16

4y - 4 = 16

4y = 20

y = 5

x = 3(5) - 4 = 11

Two consecutive odd numbers total 32. Find the smaller.

Consecutive odd numbers are always 2 numbers apart.

(x) + (x + 2) = 32

2x + 2 = 32

2x = 30

x = 15
