Four times the sum of three consecutive integers is 180 what are the integers

The two temperatures could be removed so that the average of the remaining numbers is the same as the average of the original set of numbers are -1 and -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the average of a set of data is $A=\frac{S}{N}$ , where

S is the sum of the data in the set
N is the number of the data in the set

∵ The low temperatures in Anchorage, Alaska, for a week were

− 6, − 3, − 1, 1, − 3, − 9, and − 14 degrees Celsius

∴ The set of the data is { -6 , -3 , -1 , 1 , -3 , -9 , -14}

- Add the data in the set

∵ S = -6 + -3 + -1 + 1 + -3 + -9 + -14

∴ S = -35

∵ The set has 7 data

∴ N = 7

- Use the formula of the average above to find it

∴ $A=\frac{-35}{7}$

∴ A = -5

∴ The average of the original set of numbers is -5

To keep the average the same after removing two numbers multiply the average by the new number of data to find the new sum

∵ The number of data after removing two numbers is 5

∴ N = 5

∵ A = -5

- By using the rule of average

∴ $-5=\frac{S}{5}$

- Multiply both sides by 5

∴ -25 = S

∴ The new sum is -25

- Lets find which two numbers of have a sum of -10 because

the difference between -35 and -25 is -10

∵ -1 + -9 = -10

∵ -6 + -3 + 1 + -3 + -14 = -25

∴ We could removed -1 and -9

The two temperatures could be removed so that the average of the remaining numbers is the same as the average of the original set of numbers are -1 and -9
