We can say that x is the largest number.

So the sum is x + (x - 1) + (x - 2) + (x - 3) + (x - 4) = -5

Now solve for x:

x + x + x + x + x - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 = -5

5x - 10 = -5

5x = 5

x = 1

So the largest number is 1.

Check: 1 + 0 + -1 + -2 + -3   =   -2 + -3   =   -5 so 1 is correct.

Nancy shot a 24 on 4 holes of golf. At this rate, what can she expect her score to be if she plays all 18 holes?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

  108

Step-by-step explanation:

"At this rate, ..." means we're to assume Nancy's score is proportional to the number of holes:

  score/18 = 24/4

Multiplying by 18, we get ...

  score = 18(24/4) = 18(6) = 108

Nancy can expect a score of 108 on 18 holes.
