Question 646817: 1. Translate into an equation and solve. (Use n to represent the smaller number.)
The sum of two numbers is twenty-four. Six less than five times the smaller is equal to the larger

2. Find three consecutive even integers whose sum is negative thirty-six.

3. The cost of electricity in a certain city is $0.08 for each of the first 300 kWh (kilowatt-hours) and $0.13 for each kWh over 300 kWh. Write an equation to find the number of kilowatt-hours used by a family that receives a $43.50 electric bill. (Use x to represent the kilowatt-hours over the initial 300.)

Hi,

1. x + y = 24 OR y = 24-x  and 

5x-6 = y, 

5x-6 = 24-x, 

6x = 30, 

 x = 30/6 = 5  & y = 19

and 25-6+=+19 

2. x + (x+2) + (x+4) = -36

      3x = -42 , x = -14 

 -14,-12,-10 are the integers.



3. .08%2A300+=+24 

 $43.50 = $24 + .13x
