Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Well if you think about it, if she has a total of 10 attempts she has to make 8 of them to make it on the team. Now the total attempts is double so we double the number of throws she needs to make in order to make the team so to do this we would do 8*2 which is 16. She needs to make 16 throws to make it on the team.
n, n + 1, n + 2, n + 3 - four consecutive integers
-142 - the sum
The equation:
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3) = -142
n + n + 1 + n + 2 + n + 3 = -142
4n + 6 = -142 |subtract 6 from both sides
4n = -148 |divide both sides by 4
n = -37
n + 1 = -37 + 1 = -36
n + 2 = -37 + 2 = -35
n + 3 = -37 + 3 = -34
Answer: -37, -36, -35, -34.
