The sum of 4 consecutive intergers is 50, what is the first interger in this relationship

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive means in a row

Let x be the first integer

x+1 is the second

x+2 is the third

x+3 is the 4th

The sum is 50

x+ x+1 + x+2 + x+3 = 50

Combine like terms

4x+6 = 50

Subtract 6 from each side

4x+6-6 = 50-6

4x = 44

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 44/4

x = 11

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
