If seven consecutive numbers equal to 182, which one is the smallest?

Answer:

23.

Step-by-step explanation:

My assumption: You mean when you add the numbers, they equal 182.

Let x be the smallest number. Then we are asked to solve the following equation:

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) + (x + 4) + (x + 5) + (x + 6) = 182.

Rearranging the equation gives us:

7x + 21 = 182 => x + 3 = 26 => x = 23.

So the smallest number is 23 (since our assumption was that x is the smallest number.

----

You could very well have stated that x was the middle number as a lot of cancellations would occur. That is:

(x - 3) + (x - 2) + (x - 1) + x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x - 3) = 182.

7x = 182 => x = 26 so the smallest would be 26 - 3 = 23.

slope is change in y over change in x

 use 2 points from the table so -3,-21 and -6,-39

change in Y: -39 - -21 = -18

change in x = -6 - -3 = -3

slope = -18/-3 = 6

slope = 6

Javier asks his mother how old a tree in their yard is. His mother says, "The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree's age, in ye
Sloan [31]

Answer:

His error is adding 10 and 2/3 before multiplying by a(age of the tree)

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of 10 and two-thirds of that tree's age, in years, is equal to 50.

Correct equation

Sum = addition (+)

two-thirds = 2/3

The tree's age = a

10 + 2/3a = 50

2/3a = 50 - 10

2/3a = 40

a = 40 ÷ 2/3

= 40 × 3/2

= 60

a = 60 years

Javier writes the equation

(10 + two-thirds) a = 50

(10 + 2/3)a = 50

(30+2/3)a = 50

32/3a = 50

a = 50 ÷ 32/3

= 50 × 3/32

= 150/32

a = 150/32

His error is adding 10 and 2/3 before multiplying by a(age of the tree)
