So consecutive integers, just means they're separated by a value of 1. This can be generally expressed as "a, a+1" where these two values would be consecutive integers assuming "a" is an integer.

So let's express Hassan's age as the variable "x", since it's unknown. Since Cameron is older, and by definition of a consecutive integer, Cameron's can be expressed as "x+1"

So the equation we need to set up is Cameron's age + 5(Hassan's age) = 145

So we can substitute the variables we defined to express Cameron and Hassan's age: $(x+1) + 5(x) = 145$

Distribute the 5: $x+1+5x$

Add like terms: $6x+1 = 145$

Subtract 1 from both sides: $6x=144$

Divide both sides by 6: $x=24$

Since we used "x" to represent Hassan's age, Hassan's age is 24. Since we used "x+1" to represent Cameron's age, Cameron's age is "24+1" which is just 25

Approximately ___% of a district’s students that are eligible for free and reduced meals are homeless at any given time.

Percentages are used to show the fraction of a thing. For example, if 5 students out of 20 like math, the percentage is 5/20 x 100= 25%

<h3>What is a Percentage?</h3>

This refers to the number of ratios that is described as a fraction of 100 and is denoted by the sign %.

Hence, we can see that although your question is incomplete, I gave you a general overview of percentages for a better understanding of the concept.
