Question 172542: (1) solve the equation: 3(X-0.87) -2X = 4.98

(2) Finding MSRP. What was the MSRP for a Hummer H1
that sold for $107,272 after an 8% discount?
(3) Consecutive odd integers. Find two consecutive odd
intergers whose sum is 56.

These will hopefully be the last 3. Even the most simple problems are stumping me.

1)3(x-.87)-2x=4.98
:
3x-2.61-2x=4.98
:
highlight%28x=7.59%29
:
2)let msrp =m
:
m-.08m=107272
:
.92m=107272
:
msrp is highlight%28m=116600%29dollars
3)let consecutive odd integers be 2a+1 and 2a+3
:
2a+1+2a+3=56
:
4a=52
:
a=13
:
highlight%282a%2B1=27%29
highlight%282a%2B3=29%29
