Step-by-step explanation:

4 consecutive odd integers means we start with x, then have x+2, x+4 and then x+6.

and then we have

-24 = x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6 = 4x + 12

4x = -36

x = -9

x+2 = -7

x+4 = -5

x+6 = -3

so, in sequence from small to large these 4 numbers are

-9, -7, -5, -3

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

250 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students that plays instrument = 10

Hence

40% of x = 10

40/100*x= 100

0.4x=100

x=100/0.4

x= 250

Hence there are 250 students in total
