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

16.2, 18,2, 20.2, 22.2, 24.2

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`
