Five consecutive integers are:
n, n+1, n+2, n+3, n+4 the sum of which is:
5n+10=265 subtract 10 from both sides
5n=255, divide both sides by 5
n=51
Our fifth number was n+4 so the fifth number is 55
The value of <em>d</em> is 7.5.
The key to solving equations is doing the inverse, or opposite, function/process.
For example, you subtract when d + 1 = 2:
d + 1 = 2
(d + 1) -1 = (2) - 1
d = 1
In the same way, you add values when you have a negative:
5.5 = -2 + d = d - 2
5.5 = d - 2
(5.5) + 2 = (d - 2) + 2
7.5 = d
Now if instead of adding 2, you subtract 2, the problem becomes:
5.5 = d - 2
(5.5) - 2 = (d - 2) - 2
3.5 = d - 4
This doesn't solve your problem, it just makes the value needed to be canceled out larger.
Thus d = 7.5 and you will add because the value is negative.
20
This is because
2x+(6x+20)=180
8x+20=180
8x=160
8x/8=160/8
X=20
A statistical questions is one that can be answered by collecting data and where there will be variability in that data.
the one that most fits that description is the first option "how many sticks of gum can you chew at once?"
