My average electricity bill for the months of November, December, January, and February was $200. The highest month was January which was twice February. December was $10 less than January and November was $24 less than February. How much was my bill in each of the months November, December, January, and February?
\n" ); document.write( "February = x
\n" ); document.write( "January = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "November= x-24
\n" ); document.write( "December=2x-10
\n" ); document.write( "Now add these all together and divide by 4 since there are 4 months;
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B2x%2Bx-24%2B2x-10%29%2F4=800\"
\n" ); document.write( "lets get rid of the fraction and multiply each side by 4, and collect like terms;
\n" ); document.write( "6x-34=800
\n" ); document.write( "6x=834
\n" ); document.write( "x=139
\n" ); document.write( "So the bill February was $139
\n" ); document.write( "January = 2(139)=$278
\n" ); document.write( "November = 139-24=$115
\n" ); document.write( "December = 2(139)-10= $268
\n" ); document.write( ":) \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
