Question

Suppose 3b-4a=24. Given that a and b are consecutive integers, and b<a, what is the value of b?

Answer 1

the keyword is consecutive, meaning the numbers are one apart
since a > b
a = b+1

3b-4a=24
3b - 4(b+1) = 24
-b = 28
b = -28


check:
then a = -28+1 = -27
3b-4a
= 3(-28) - 4(-27)
= 24 , my answer is correct

Answer 2

Nope her answer is correct not yours.

Answer 3

She wrote the same thing so yeah.
