the set M contains 4positive integers - if the average is 7 what is the highest possible integer in the set M

1 answer:

4 0

4 positive integers : x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6

((x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6)) / 4 = 7...combine like terms
(4x + 12) / 4 = 7...multiply both sides by 4
4x + 12 = 7 * 4
4x + 12 = 28
4x = 28 - 12
4x = 16
x = 16/4
x = 4

x + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6
x + 4 = 4 + 4 = 8
x + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10

lets check...
(4 + 6 + 8 + 10) / 4 = 7
28/4 = 7
7 = 7 (correct)

the highest possible integer is 10

When 64 is added to the number that is produced by doubling the number x, the result is equal to 35 times the number that 1 less

64+(2x)=35(x-1)
expand
64+2x=35x-35
minus 2x from both sides
64=33x-35
add 35 to both sides
99=33x
divide both sides by 33
3=x
the number is 3
