First, a bit of housekeeping:
<span>The meaning of four consecutive even numbers is 15. Wouldn't that be "mean," not meaning? Very different concepts!
The greatest of these numbers is _______ a^1
"a^1" means "a to the first power. There are no powers in this problem statement. Perhaps you meant just "a" or "a_1" or a(1).
The least of these numbers is ______a^2.
No powers in this problem statement. Perhaps you meant a_2 or a(2)
In this problem you have four numbers. All are even, and there's a spacing of 2 units between each pair of numbers (consecutive even).
The mean, or arithmetic average, of these numbers is (a+b+c+d) / 4, where a, b, c and d represent the four consecutive even numbers. Here this mean is 15. The mean is most likely positioned between b anc c.
So here's what we have: a+b+c+d
------------- = 15
4
This is equivalent to a+b+c+d = 60.
Since the numbers a, b, c and d are consecutive even integers, let's try this:
a + (a+2) + (a+4) + (a+6) = 60. Then 4a+2+4+6=60, or 4a = 48, or a=12.
Then a=12, b=14, c=16 and d=18. Note how (12+14+16+18) / 4 = 15, which is the given mean.
We could also type, "a(1)=12, a(2)=14, a(3) = 16, and a(4) = 18.

Answer:
59
Step-by-step explanation:
alternate interior angles are congruent
Answer:
62.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write a proportion. We know that $50 is the original value and $80 is the marked up price. We don't know the marked up percentage. Let's call it x. We write equal ratios of 
comparing percent and 
comparing the 50 to the marked up price. We then set them equal.
We then cross multiply across the equal sign from numerator to the opposite numerator.
80(x)=50(100)
80x=5000
We divide to find x.
x=62.5
This means the bicycles are marked up 62.5% and the original value is 37.5%.
Answer:
D. 4 23/24
Step-by-step explanation:
1 7/8 = 1 21/24
6 5/6 = 6 20/24
6 - 1 = 5
20 - 21 = -1
5 - 1/24 = 4 23/24
y = 8
x = 575
We want to solve for b in the slope-intercept form y = mx + b.
To complete this problem, we need the value of m, the slope. If you know m, then just plug into y = mx + b this way:
8 = 575m + b
