If five times the smaller of two consecutive integers is added to three times the larger, the result is 59. Find the integers.

5(x + 1)+ 3( x + 2) = 59
5x + 5 + 3x + 6 =59
8x + 11 = 59
-11 -11
8x = 48
x = 6
30 + 5 = 35 + 24 = 59
wow I think I got it. (but it says they are consecutive, how can that be? ) Thank you

The largest sheep ranch in the world is located in Australia. The number of sheep on the ranch is 8/3 the number of uninvited kangaroos grazing on the pastureland. Together heards of these two animals number 88,000 How many sheep and how many kangaroos roam the ranch?

I think I am way wrong 8/3 = 2.2 (right?)
or would I keep it as a fraction?
so (2.2 + x) + x = 88,000
but wouldn't I want to turn the 2.2 into a whole number by multiplying by 10? and if so do I also multiply the 88,000?? Please help, I turned up with x = 40,000 but I don't see how my equation can be right. Thank you this is my last one for the night =) I appreciate all your help.

What is incorrect with the below sentence? Something seems wrong but I can't pin point it.


"Meanwhile, illegal music trading continues throughout the internet, with the music industry always seemingly one step behind the common College student; and as long as the internet is in operation, music will continue to be traded among music lovers, just as older generations would make mix tapes and share them with friends."
