Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
d = 7%2F2
-2, -2+7%2F2, -2+2%287%2F2%29, -2+3%287%2F2%29, 12
-2, -4%2F2+7%2F2, -4%2F2+14%2F2, --4%2F2+21%2F2, 12
-2, 3%2F2, 10%2F2, 17%2F2, 12
-2, 3%2F2, 5, 17%2F2, 12
Starting from what I know (the difference between ribbons), I decided to go from the bottom and work my way up. I then noticed a pattern (each sum was three more of the previous one), and decided to keep my pattern of the three numbers but not have to do any major mental work and instead add three to the previous sum until I got to 38.
The average is found by adding the numbers and dividing by 2.
Since the average is 17, the total of the two numbers must equal 17 x 2 = 34.
One number is given as 11, so subtract 11 from 34:
34 - 11 = 23
The other number is 23.
Too check: add 11 and 23 and then divide by 2:
11 + 23 = 34
34/2 = 17.
