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

Answer 1

I recall doing this one yesterday, but since the SEARCH function on this website no longer works, I can't find it.

The key word is executive, and since we are told that b<a
a = b+1

so sub it in....
3b - 4(b+1) = 24, and solve for b
