Mary owned n sheep and Sam had exactly 4 times as many sheep as Mary.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Murljashka [212]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

least value of n is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary has n sheep. Then she buys 17 extra sheeps.

Mray = n + 17 sheeps

Sam had exactly 4 times as mary. Then Sam sold 8 of his sheep.

Sam = 4n - 8 sheep.

Sam has more sheep than Mary

Sam sheep is greater than Mary

4n - 8 > n + 17

Collect like terms

4n - n > 17 + 8

3n > 25

Divide both sides by 3

n > 25/3

n > 8.3333

Note: the value of n must be whole

Therefore, least value of n is 9

The sum of 5 consecutive integers is 120. What is the third number in this sequence?
aliina [53]
Ok so

x - the smallest
The other 4 are : x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4
We know that sum is 120
So
x+x+1+x+2+x+3+x+4=120
Combine like terms
5x+10=120
Subtract 10 on both sides
5x=120-10
5x=110
Divide by 5 on both sides
X=22
The third number is x+2 = 22+2=24
