The sum of 5 consecutive even numbers is 100 ples help :/

Consecutive even numbers are numbers that go in order, such as 1,2,3,4,5.

There are 5 even numbers.

They would be x, x+2, x+4, x+6, and x+8 (you add 2 each time so they are even).

Now when adding all these numbers, you get 100.

So there's your equation.

x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8=100

Add like terms.

5x+20=100

Solve for x.

5x=80

x=16

So the first number is 16.

The second is 18.

Third is 20.

Fourth, 22.

And fifth, 24.

You can add them to see if you are correct.

16+18+20+22+24=100

The numbers are 16,18,20,22, and 24.

step-by-step explanation:

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
