Question
the average of five consecutive even integers is less than -12. Find the greatest possible values for the integers
Answers
If the largest is x, then their sum is 5x-20. So, you need
(5x-20)/5 < -12
x-4 < -12
x < -8
so, the largest must be -10 or less
(5x-20)/5 < -12
x-4 < -12
x < -8
so, the largest must be -10 or less
