An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The cost of a new book is $7.43, while the cost of an old book is $8.86.
<h3>What is an equation?</h3>
An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.
Given the cost of 14 used books is $124. Therefore, the cost of a single used book is,
Cost of single used book(u) = 124/14 = $8.86
Also, the cost of 12 used books and 4 new books is $136. Therefore, the equation can be written as,
12u + 4n = 136
12(8.85) + 4n = 136
106.2 + 4n = 136
n = $7.43
Hence, the cost of a new book is $7.43, while the cost of an old book is $8.86.

I attached a picture with equation because it is easier than attempting to type it out.
Answer:- The smaller integer is -5.
Explanation:-
Let the first consecutive integer be x and the second consecutive integer be x+1.
According to the given question:-
x+6(x+1)= -29
⇒x+6x+6= -29 [distributive law]
⇒x+6x= -29-6 [subtract 6 on the both sides]
⇒7x= -35 [combining like terms ]
⇒x= -5 [dividing 7 on both sides]
Thus the smaller integer =x= -5
larger integer =x+1= -5+1= -4
