I need to know if these answers are correct or not... 1.
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 70
4x + 6 = 70
4x = 70 - 6
4x = 64
64/4 =
x = 16
16 + 17 + 18 + 19 = 70

10.
Sca = 336/12 = 28 miles/hr
Scu = 336/14 = 24 miles/hr ->
28 = B + C
24 = B - C ->
28= B + C -> B = 28 - C -> 24 = B - C
-> 24 = 28 - C - C
24 -28 = -2C
-4 = -2C
C = 2 -> B = 28 - 2
= 26 miles/hr

1. Let the four consecutive numbers be x, x+1, x+2, x+3

The sum of four consecutive number is already given to us = 70

Therefore

⇒(x)+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=70  

We need to combine x as we have four x terms in the equation. The next step is to get all of the x’s on one side of the equation and all the numbers on the other side. The same rule applies – whatever you do to one side of the equation, you must do to the other side as well!

⇒4x+6=70⇒4x=64⇒x=16

So, the four numbers are 16, 17, 18 and 19.

Hence, the greatest number among them is 19.
