15x+40=115
15x+40-40=115-40
15x=75
15/15 x=75/15
x= 5
The <em>correct answer</em> is:
The first number is 0.062.
Explanation:
Let x represent the first number in the list.
We add 0.001 to each number to find the next number; this gives us:
x + 0.001 + 0.001 = 0.064
Combining like terms, we have:
x + 0.002 = 0.064
Subtract 0.002 from each side:
x + 0.002 - 0.002 = 0.064 - 0.002
x = 0.062
