Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:  NO solution possible!


Steps:

Let "n" be the first even number. We are told that


n + (n+2) + (n+4) + (n+6) + (n +8)  = 216


The third number, the value we want, is boldfaced above.


Simplify the above equation:

5n + ( 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 ) = 216   or


5n +  20  = 216  or

5n = 196


n = 196/5   is NOT an integer value.  This problem, as stated, has no solution.

Regards, MrB

Can u tell me if my answers are correct here?
MariettaO [177]
By the process of elimination, it is already not the last 2, so it is 50/50 chance to get it correct, but if you know how to add, you can figure out that 1 million per year in 5 years means that it is 12 million + 5 million, which is equal to 17 million and not 14,500,000. This brings it down only to 500,000$ salary increase per year
