Jaylen and six of her younger siblings have ages that are consecutive. When they moved from San Francisco to Chicago, their ages (all seven of them) added up to 91. How old was Jaylen when they moved? Explain your thinking.

Jaylen was 16 years old. She's the oldest.

Step-by-step explanation:

16  Jaylen

15  sibling 1

14  sibling 2

13  sibling 3

12 sibling 4

11  sibling 5

10  sibling 6

91  Total

My thinking was that I started out dividing 91 by 7. That came out 13. So I knew the oldest one had to be older than 13.

the answer is true.

step-by-step explanation:

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
