We can start this problem by finding out what the lowest consecutive number's value is (x). Since consecutive numbers are numbers that are 1 apart from each other, the sum of 9 consecutive numbers would look like
x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) + (x+5) + (x+6) + (x+7) + (x+8)
Since we know that they equal 153,
x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) + (x+4) + (x+5) + (x+6) + (x+7) + (x+8) = 153
Now we combine like terms
9x + 36 = 153
Simplify
9x = 117
x = 13
Now, we need to find what the 5th consecutive number is equal to. The fifth consecutive number is (x+4), so 13 + 4 is 17, meaning that the 5th of 9 consecutive numbers that add up to 153 is 17.
Answer:
The solution set can be given as:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given function:
To find the domain of the function in set notation.
Solution:
For the function 
to exist the denominator must be ≠ 0
We have the denominator 
which cannot be = 0.
Thus, we can find the domain of the function using the above relation.
The function will not exist when:
Solving for 
Subtracting both sides by 6.
Dividing both sides by 2.
∴ 
Thus, the function will not exist at . This means it has all real number solutions except -3.
The solution set can be given as:
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
26% is close to 25%, which is equal to 1/4th.
You're adding to the number and removing from the percentage so it balances it out.
