Question

anonymous · Answer

If there are 150 in each section, we would multiply 8 times 150.
If there are 200 seats in each section, we would multiply 8 times 200.
The answer must be between those two answers.

The least integer of a set of consecutive integer is -25.if the sum of these integer is 26 how many integer are in this set

anonymous · Answer

interesting...
so it look like {-25, -24, -23,... ,-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,...}
each positive will cancel each negative before we start to get a positive sum immediately after which number?

anonymous · Answer

wat do u mean

anonymous · Answer

well, if we start at zero and work our way out in both directions we get
-1+1=0  they cancel
-2+2=0  they cancel
-3+3=0  they cancel
they will keep cancelling like that until we get out to -25 and ...?

anonymous · Answer

Oh, sorry, I don't just give answers... we have to work our way there.
-25 will cancel with 25, then the very next number will start to get us a positive sum.

anonymous · Answer

The very next number will be 26... which is the sum that we are looking for.

anonymous · Answer

26

anonymous · Answer

So the set has a bunch of numbers in it...
25 negatives that cancel with 25 positives
there is also a zero in the middle
and the 26 on the end finishes the set
how many total numbers are in that bunch of numbers?

anonymous · Answer

51
