<em>p = 21</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have a midsegment, the base is going to be two times as large as the midsegment. You can find the midsegment if you multiply it by two and set it equal to the base. I have attached a photo below that may help you.
This is the equation we will be using.
Now let's solve! Let's start by distributing the 2 by what's in the parentheses.
Subtract p from both sides.
Add 26 to both sides.
<u>p = 21</u>
Answer:
The first number is 138.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be <em>x.</em>
<em />
Then since they are consecutive numbers, the second number will be (<em>x</em> + 1), the third (<em>x</em> + 2), the fourth (<em>x</em> + 3) and the fifth being (<em>x</em> + 4).
We are given that their sum is 700. Therefore:
Solve for <em>x</em>. Combine like terms:
Subtract 10 from both sides:
Divide both sides by five. Therefore:
The first number is 138.
