Answer:
x = 6
Explanation:
y = x - 4
26 = 4x + y
If y = y, then we can rewrite this system as this: 4x + x - 4 = 26
Then we combine like terms and add 4 on both sides to give us 5 x = 30
. Divide by 5 on both sides and we arrive at the solution: x = 6
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
135 divided by 9 = 15
Answer:
{36, 38, 40, 42, 44}
Step-by-step explanation:
You are implying that you are adding up 5 consecutive numbers, and should use the word "add" or the word "sum."
"The sum of 5 consecutive odd numbers is 200" leads to:
x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) + (x+8) = 200. Note how each number is 2 more than the number preceding it. In this way you can guarantee that all of the 5 numbers are odd.
Summing up, we get 5x + 20 = 200, or 5x = 180.
Dividing both sides by 5, we get x = 36.
Then the 5 consecutive integers are
{36, 38, 40, 42, 44}. These add up to 200.
Unfortunately, these are consecutive EVEN numbers, not odd numbers.
