Answer:


Step-by-step explanation: The reason is is because when adding and subtracting integers, you flip the operation sign that will be used to solve the problem.So when you flip the sign of this equation, you subtract. So that's how your answer was 11/17. Also it is positive because the biggest number is positive so that is what the solution will be.

Find four consecutive even integers such that seven times the first exceeds their sum by 18.
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

10, 12, 14, 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Four consecutive even integers such that seven times the first exceeds their sum by 18.

Lets assume the first number be "x".

As it is even integers

∴ Second consecutive number will be (x+2)

  Third consecutive number will be (x+4)

  Fourth consecutive number will be (x+6)

Now, as given seven times the first exceeds their sum by 18.

∴ [x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)]+18 = 7x

solving the equation to find the number.

⇒ [x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)]+18 = 7x

Opening parenthesis

x+x+2+x+4+x+6+18 = 7x

⇒ 4x+30= 7x

subtracting both side by 4x

⇒ 30= 3x

Dividing both side by 3

∴ x= 10.

Hence, subtituting the value x to find four consecutive even integers.

  First number is 10

  Second consecutive number will be (10+2) = 12

  Third consecutive number will be (10+4)= 14

  Fourth consecutive number will be (10+6) = 16

∴ Four consecutive even integers are 10,12,14,16.
