Translate into algebraic equations :\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1.The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 144; what are the numbers?
\n" ); document.write( "Let the mid number be n
\n" ); document.write( "the numbers are n-2, n and n+2
\n" ); document.write( "giving 3n=144
\n" ); document.write( "Therfore numbers are = (sum/3)-2, Sum/3 and sum/3+2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2.The price of one brand of athletic shoes is $5 more than another brand. If the prices of the two pairs of shoes add to $230, how much does each pair cost?
\n" ); document.write( "let x is cost of one brand
\n" ); document.write( "cost of other brand =x+5
\n" ); document.write( "x+x+5=sum=230
\n" ); document.write( "2x=sum-5
\n" ); document.write( "x=(sum-5)/2\r
