To calculate $51^2$, Alex mentally figures the value $50^2$ and adds 101. Alex subtracts a number from $50^2$ to calculate $48^2$. What number does she subtract?

1st integer x

2nd integer x+1

3rd integer x+2

4th integer x+3

x+x+1 +x+2+x+3 =74

combine like terms

4x+6 = 74

subtract 6 from each side

4x = 68

x = 17

the integers are 17,18,19,20

the answer is 15 to your question

hello there,

to convert kg to pounds and ounces you set up

turn the kg into

8.3/x = 1/2.2

x = 18.26

now convert the pounds into

18.26/x = 1/16

x = 292.16

now that is the answer in ounces.

answer: 18.26 lb; 292.16 oz
