1. Let the four consecutive numbers be x, x+1, x+2, x+3
The sum of four consecutive number is already given to us = 70
Therefore
⇒(x)+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=70
We need to combine x as we have four x terms in the equation. The next step is to get all of the x’s on one side of the equation and all the numbers on the other side. The same rule applies – whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must do to the other side as well!
⇒4x+6=70⇒4x=64⇒x=16
So, the four numbers are 16, 17, 18 and 19.
Hence, the greatest number among them is 19.

<u>Given</u><u> </u><u>that</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
→ 1 sandwich = 2 slices of bread.
→ 1 hiker = 1 sandwich.
→ Then we have to find number of bread slices for n hikers .
→ Number of bread slices for 1 hiker = 2
→ Number of bread slices for 2 hikers = 2 × 2
→ For 3 hikers = 3 × 2
So in similar way
→ Number of bread slices for n hikers = 2×n → 2n
So <u>2</u><u>n</u><u> </u> is the answer.
Answer:
If we do square on both sides we get two answers i.e. (x+12)^2=(3x+20)^2
(x^2)+24x+144=(9x^2)+120x+400
(8x^2)+96x+256=0
(x^2)+12x+32=0
(x+4)(x+8)=0
x= -4 or x= -8.
Else we have another method
x+12=3x+20
x+12–20=3x
x-8=3x,
Now square on both sides.
(x-8)^2=(3x)^2
x^2–16x+64=(9x^2)
(9x^2)-(x^2)+16x-64=0
(8x^2)+16x-64=0
(x^2)+2x-8=0
(x+4)(x-2)=0
x= -4 or x= 2.
But It Didn’t Satisfy for The Equation When
x=2 or x= -8,So The Value of x will be -4 which satisfies given question.
