Question

HEY U OVER THERE! WANT SOME POINTS ANSWER THIS FOR 35!!!!!!

The sum of six consecutive even integers is 294. What is the smallest of the six integers?

Answer 1

• 44

Explanation:

Let's name the 6 consecutive terms as

• x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6, x + 8 + x + 10

We know that:

• x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 + x + 10 = 294

Solution:

• x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 + x + 10 = 294
• => 6x + 30 = 294
• => 6x = 294 - 30
• => 6x = 264
• => x = 264/6
• => x = 44

Hence, the smallest number among the six consecutive numbers is 44.

Answer 2

44

Explanation:

x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) + (x+8) + (x+10) = 294
Combine all like terms for x and integers
6x + 30 = 294

Minus 30 on both sides
6x = 264
Divide by 6
x = 44
