Question

The sum of 6 consecutive odd numbers is 204. What is the fourth number in this sequence?​

Answer 1

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Set up a equation.

2. X is the first, so the ones after x are x+2, x+4, x+6, x+8, and x+10.

3. That means that x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8+x+10=204.

4. Simplify. You would get that 6x+30=204.

5. Solve for x. 6x=174, so x=29.

6. Get the fourth number in the sequence. 29+6=35.

Answer: The fourth number in this sequence is 35.
