Ok so

x - the smallest
The other 4 are : x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4
We know that sum is 120
So
x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4=120
Combine like terms
5x+10=120
Subtract 10 on both sides
5x=120-10
5x=110
Divide by 5 on both sides
X=22
The third number is x+2 = 22+2=24

Step-by-step explanation:

It is ALWAYS helpful to sketch the appropriate figure.

That will make clear that 3x = x+4, by the definition of midpoint.

Then you solve the equation and you get x=2, so that PQ = 6.

In the year 2000, the population of a city was 600,000 citizens. The population increases at a rate of 1.8% per year.
Alona [7]
Y=600000(1+1.8%)^(x-2000)
So the population in 2012
Y=600,000×(1+0.018)^(2,012−2,000)
Y=743,232
