If my calculations are correct the answer is 21 ft
Yes you can because you can see how many times x is being used remember it cant be used more than once in a pair
Step-by-step explanation:
for some reason the equation at the top says 7(x+2) but both of the equations at the bottom say 7(x-2)... I'm just going to do 7(x-2)
Emmanuels Work:
7(x-2)=91
distribute the 7 by multiplying both x and -2 by it
7x-14=91
add 14 to both sides
7x=105
divide both sides by 7
x=15
Mauricio's Work:
7(x-2)=91
to get rid of the 7 multiplication, divide both sides by 7
x-2=13
add 2 to both sides
x=15
Because they're consecutive, it means that the first one is x, the second one is x+1, the third one is x+2 (x+1+1), and the fourth one is x+3. Because we're given that the sum of all of them is 682, just add all of them together:
x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=682
x+x+x+x+1+2+3=682
4x+6=682
4x+6-6=682-6
4x=676
x=676/4
x=169
Thus, the consecutive integers are: 169, 170, 171, 172
