Question

The median of a set of 7 consecutive integers is 27. What is the smallest of these integers?

Answer 1

is the pattern, x , x+1, x+2, x+3, etc...

Answer 2

since it's consecutive?

Answer 3

Yes...

Answer 4

okay

Answer 5

The median is the number in the middle. With seven numbers, that means there are three above and three below. Since the numbers are consecutive, count backwards three from twenty-seven. I get twenty-four.

Answer 6

really? hmm

Answer 7

isn't the full equation 7x+21=27?

Answer 8

x = 24 is the answer..
Sorry..

Answer 9

if you follow the consecutive pattern

Answer 10

oh okay

Answer 11

No no need to write full equation..

Answer 12

oh okays thank you so much!

Answer 13

See, the seven consecutive numbers are:

x, x+1, x+2, x+3, x+4, x+5, x+6

Here middle one is the median..

So,

x + 3= 27

Subtract 3 both the sides,


x = 24..

So this is the smallest integer.

Answer 14

Oh okays thank you!! :)

Answer 15

Welcome dear..
