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.

Wouldn't (D) be the right answer?? I divided 23% by 5,260, but I'm not 100% sure it's correct.
atroni [7]
It would be c. Ian would predict that 23% of the 5,260 would list a sport. Usually when you phrase things like x OF y you multiply. So 23%(or .23) x 5,260 = 1209.8 and we can round to a whole person, giving us 1,210 people

Triangle Q M N is shown. The length of Q M is 18, the length of M N is 17, and the length of Q N is 20. Law of cosines: a2 = b2
kvasek [131]

Answer:

53°

Step-by-step explanation:

17² = 18² + 20² - 2(18)(20) cos Q

289 = 324 + 400 - 720 cos Q

289 = 724 - 720 cos Q

-435 = -720 cos Q

0.6042 = cos Q

cos^{-1} (0.6042) = Q

Q = 52.83
