Question

If 1/4 of an even positive number and 5/6 of the next larger even number have a sum of 32, what is the average of the two numbers?

Answer 1

1/4(n) + 5/6(n+2) = 32
3n + 10(n+2) = 384
3n + 10n + 20 = 384
13n + 20 = 384
13n = 364
n = 28
n + 2 = 30
(28 + 30)/2 = 29

Answer 2

Ah I see thank you!
