The sum of 6 consecutive integers is 270. What is the second number in the sequence?

1 answer:

3 0

N+(n+1)+(n+2)+(n+3)+(n+4)+(n+5)=270
We use these terms to represent the first six consecutive integers in the sequence
Now we group like terms:
6n+15=270
Minus 15 from both sides of the equation
6n=255
n=42.5 which is not an integer
Is this a joke question?
Besides that, the 2nd number will be 43.5

A bus makes a stop at 2:30, letting off 16 people and letting on 3. The bus makes another stop ten minutes later to let off 2 mo

Answer:

10 people lesser.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initially, it 15 people get off but 9 people get picked up, hence losing 6 people. If 4 more people get off, it has then lost 10 people total.

The original number of passengers on the bus decreased by 10 after the second stop

Assume that the total passengers on the bus before 2:30 was x

Now, at 2:30:

15 passengers got off and 9 got on.

This means that:

number of passengers = x - 15 + 9

number of passengers = x -6

10 minutes later:

4 passengers got off the bus

This means that:

number of passengers = (x-6) - 4

number of passengers = x - 10

The original number of passengers on the bus decreased by 10 after the second stop.

Nope

The absolute value of a number or an expression is always positive or zero. It cannot be negative. With absolute value, we are only interested in how far a number is from zero, not the direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number means the distance from 0. ... You cannot have negative distance, so it has to be positive.

How can you use absolute value to represent a negative number?

EX:

Subtract one number from the other and give the result the sign of the number that has the greater absolute value. 2 – 9 = -7 because the difference between 9 and 2 is 7 and the -9 has the larger absolute value making the result negative.
