If x is the first of the integers then the statement is:
(x) , (x+2) , (x+4) , (x+6)
This means that the smallest is x and the largest is x + 6
so:
3(x) + 2(x+6) = 293
3x + 2x + 12 = 293
5x = 281
x = 56.2
This gives us a none integer (decimal)
What now?
Wait remember how x started as the lowest? what if x was the highest instead?
x, x-2, x-4, x-6
so:
3(x-6) + 2(x) = 293
5x = 315
x = 62.2
This is as close as have gotten to the answer
Cant seem to get an integer.
Maybe error in the question or some bad math on my part.
Answer:
38 Tables
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to add the number of students with the number of adults to get the total number of people attending the picnic.
182 + 274 = 456
Next, we divide that number by how many people fit at each table to find how many tables we need.
456 people ÷ 12 people at each table = 38 tables.
