Well consecutive means in a row, or one number after the other (for ex. 1,2,3,4). And for this equation it's asking for 4 consecutive numbers of which the sum is -26. To get this you just need to go on a calculator and just try some consecutive numbers, you'll get it pretty quickly. The answer is -5,-6,-7,-8. The sum of those numbers is -26.
Hope this helps!
5 and 6 (5 being the square root of 25 and 6 being the square root of 36, which are the closest perfect squares)

Could we get the question please?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
7 fiction and 23 non- fiction
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of non-fiction read was 5 less than 4 times the number of fiction books.
Assume fiction books are x.
An equation representing this would be:
x + (4x - 5) = 30
5x - 5 = 30
5x = 30 + 5
x = 35 / 5
x = 7 fiction books
Non-fiction books:
= 4x - 5
= 4 * 7 - 5
= 23 non - fiction books
