in a calendar a square of four numbers is marked the sum of the numbers is 56.what is the number
Answers
Answer:
10 ,11 , 17, 18
Step-by-step explanation:
In a calendar, the number directly to the right of a chosen number (let’s have it be x) will be exactly one more than x. Hence, we can assign our first two numbers the respective values of x and x+1.
Next, we jump down exactly one row from our first number, x. Because calendars show each row with exactly one row, we know that the number directly under x will be 7 more, because it is exactly a week later. This number would therefore be assigned the value of x+7.
Using the same logic we used when we found x+1, we can derive our last value: x+8. The second piece of information states that the sum of all the numbers is 80.
We plug that number in…
56 = (x) + (x+1) + (x+7) + (x+8)
Combining like terms, it follows that…
56 = 4x + 16
56-16 = 4x
40 = 4x
40/4 = x
x = 10
Now as we know x value , so
x = 10
x +1 = 10 + 1 = 11
X + 7 = 10 + 7 = 17
x + 8 = 10 + 8 = 18
