A real estate agent sold two homes and received commissions totaling $6000. The agent's commission on one home was one and one-half times the commission on the second home. If p represents the smaller commission, write an equation to determine the agent's commission on each home.
P= smaller number
6000-P= Larger number
I don't get how to write it as an equation
Find three consecutive odd integers such that four times the middle integer is two more than the sum of the first and third.
I think I'm doing it wrong.
4((x)+(x+2)=x+(x+4)+2
4(2x+4)=2+3x+6
8x+16=3x+8
5x=8 ?
Please help
