I did the math and (6,26) is the correct answer.
If Fiona is to divide the first expression by the second one, clearly only the first term of the first expression is divisible. The remaining terms of the fist expression will remain as the remainder. The remainder from the division done by Fiona should be 5x - 3.
The smallest of the four numbers is x.
Since the four numbers are consecutive, this means that each number is one more than the previous.
Therefore, the four numbers are:
x
x + 1
x+1 + 1 = x+2
x+2 + 1 = x+3
Now, we are given that the sum (s) of the four numbers is 2174
This means that:
s = x+x+1+x+2+x+3
s = 4x + 6
We are given that s = 2174. Substitute with s in the above equation and solve for x as follows:
2174 = 4x + 6
4x = 2174 - 6
4x = 2168
x = 2168 / 4
x = 542
Based on the above calculations, the four numbers are:
542, 543, 544 and 555
1/2*3*4=6
Explanation:
The height is 3 cm and the base is 4cm.
I believe 5 is there to trick you. The bottom Is always the base and the straight line going vertically is always the height.
1/2*3*4=6
