A because it’s a binomial
Step 1: Write out the problem.
Step 1: Write out the problem.
Step 1: Write out the problem.
x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)= 286
Step 2: Take out the parentheses.
x+x+1+x+2+x+3= 286
Step 3: Combine like terms.
4x+6= 286
Step 4: Subtract 6 from both sides.
4x+6 -6= 286 -6
Step 5: Divide 4 on both sides.
4x/4 = 280/4
x=70
Which means the answer is 70, 71, 72, 73
Check Work:
70+71+72+73= 286
So this is correct :)
So you multiply 2 1/3times 1 1/2 and you get 3 and 1/6
X+(x+1)=17
So 2x+1=17
Which means 2x=16
Which then means x=8
But you still need the second number, which is x+1, so 8+1=9.
This means that the consecutive numbers are 8 and 9.
