Represent these consecutive numbers (assuming that they are all integers):
x
x+1
x+2
x+3
x+4
x+5
and so on
x+8
x+9 is the tenth number. x+9 = 10, so x = 9.
Think of it this way: there are 10 consecutive numbers, and the last one is 10.
Working backwards, we get the sequence 10, 9, ... 3, 2, 1.
The sum of such an arith sequence is equal to the count of the numbers times the average of the first and last terms:
sum here = 10(1+10)/2 = 5(11) = 55 (answer)

Answer:
(4,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
The object is first at (0,0)
It is reflected across line x=-2, this means you draw the mirror line at x=-2 and count 2 equal units backwards to get the image.The image will be at ;
The image (-4,0) is then reflected on the y-axis
You know reflection on the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same but the x-coordinate is changed to its opposite sign.
Hence;
(- -4,0)= (4,0)
The image will move 8 units towards positive x-axis.This is the same as moving 4 units from the mirror line at (0,0) and land at (4,0)
Answer: you bought 9 burgers and 16 tacos
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of burgers that you bought.
Let y represent the number of tacos that you bought.
You buy a total of 25 burgers and tacos. It means that
x + y = 25
The burgers cost $3.50 each and the tacos cost $2.25 each. The total cost of the burgers and tacos that you bought is $67.50. It means that
3.5x + 2.25y = 67.5- - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Substituting x = 25 - y into 1, it becomes
3.5(25 - y) + 2.25y = 67.5
87.5 - 3.5y + 2.25y = 67.5
- 3.5y + 2.25y = 67.5 - 87.5
- 1.25y = - 20
y = - 20/ - 1.25
y = 16
x = 25 - y = 25 - 16
x = 9
