Answer:
If a, b and c are in arithmetic progression, that means that a + c = 2b. So a + b, a + c and b + c are also in arithmetic progression.
This might help.
Answer:
(y-(-2))/(x-(-1)= (-2-4)/(-1-3)
(y+2)/(x+1)= (-6)/(-4)
(y+2)/(x+1)= (3/2)
Cross multiplying
2y+4= 3x+3
3x-2y-1=0
7(x+2) = 35
Use the distributive property:
7x + 14 = 35
Subtract 14 from each side:
7x = 21
Divide both sides by 7:
x = 21 / 7
X = 3
The answer is C. 3
Five consecutive integers are:
n, n+1, n+2, n+3, n+4 the sum of which is:
5n+10=265 subtract 10 from both sides
5n=255, divide both sides by 5
n=51
Our fifth number was n+4 so the fifth number is 55
