You need to solve for x (get x by itself)

x - 18 = -5 Add 18 on both sides

x - 18 + 18 = -5 + 18

x = 13

The sum of 5 consecutive even numbers is 250. What is the fourth number in this sequence?

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Our fourth number is 52.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let our first even number be x.

Then the second even number must be (x + 2), the third (x + 4), fourth (x + 6), and the fifth (x + 8).

They sum to 250. Hence:

$x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)+(x+8)=250$

Solve for x. Combine like terms:

$5x+20=250$

Subtract 20 from both sides:

$5x=230$

And divide both sides by five. Hence:

$x=46$

Thus, our sequence is 46, 48, 50, 52, and 54.

Hence, our fourth number is 52.
