Answer:
honestly im not sure but i am doing that same work at the moment and i just ingore the m. it shouldnt change what you get as your answer.
Answer: 17
21-4=17
4+17=21
21+17=38 and so on..
X+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=156
4x+6=156
4x=150
x=37.5 (not an integer)
If x=37 you get 37+38+39+40=154 and if x=38 you get 38+39+40+41=158[/tex]

All i know is that the equation of a straight line is y=mx+c .......where m= gradient and c= the y intercept
