Answer:
61 , 63 , 65 , 67
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the least even number be denoted by x. The sum of the four consecutive even numbers would be:
(x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) (x + 6) = 256
First, simplify. Combine all like terms:
x + x + x + x + 2 + 4 + 6 = 256
4x + 12 = 256
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
4x + 12 (-12) = 256 (-12)
4x = 256 - 12
4x = 144
Next, divide 4 from both sides of the equation:
(4x)/4 = (144)/4
x = 144/4
x = 61
61 is your first number. Find the next 3 consecutive numbers:
x = 61
x + 2 = 63
x + 4 = 65
x + 6 = 67
Check:
61 + 63 + 65 + 67 = 256
256 = 256

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the number of students
(x+5) is the number of students and chaperons
$2.50·(x+5) is the amount of money the number of students and chaperons will pay for the trip, and that number should be less or equal than $90 because those are all the money they have
2.50(x+5) ≤ 90 which is the same as 90 ≥ 2.50(x+5)
The inequality "90 greater-than 2.50 (x + 5) "
90 > 2.50(x+5) is an error becase it excludes the possibility that <u>the trip can cost exact $90</u> so we need not just greater than > , yet greater and equal than ≥ sign
90 ≥ 2.50(x+5)
