The sum of 6 consecutive odd numbers exceeds twice the largest by 38. Find the sum of the six numbers.
Correct Answer:
D: 72
Explanation:
The sum of 6 consecutive odd numbers exceeds twice the largest by 38. Find the sum of the six numbers. Correct Answer 72 Let x represent the smallest number. Then the other number are x + 2, x + 4, x + 6, x + 8 and x + 10. x + 10 is the largest. The sum of these is 6x + (2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10) = 6x + 30 We are told that this is 38 greater than twice the largest, so 6x + 30 = 2(x + 10) + 38 = 2x + 58. or, 4x = 28 ∴x = 7 Then the sum is 6×7 + 30 = 72.

If the product of 3 consecutive integers is 120, then the sum of the integers is
Correct Answer:
D: 15

If the product of 3 consecutive integers is 120, then the sum of the integers is Correct Answer 15 Let the first integer be x - 1. Then the next two integers would be x and x + 1. So: (x - 1)× x × (x + 1) = 120 = > (x² - 1)x = 120 = > x³ - x = 120 ∴x = 5 , Check 5³ - 5 = 125 - 5 = 120. So, x = 5. The other two numbers are 4 and 6 which are equal to x - 1 and x + 1 respectively. Now the total of these numbers is 3x = 3×5 = 15.
