Question

If x represents an even integer, write expressions in terms of x that represent the next four consecutive even integers. If the five consecutive even integers have a sum of 101, find the numbers. *

Answer 1

Answer:

16.2, 18,2, 20.2, 22.2, 24.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

$x$

represent an even interger.

Remeber that even intergers have a distance of 2 from each other.

So next four consecutive intergers are

$x + 2$

$x + 4$

$x + 6$

and

$x + 8$

Part 2: Five consective intergers have a sum of 101, and qe must find the numbers so

$x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 101$

$5x + 20 = 101$

$5x = 81$

$x= 16.2$
