	Consecutive Numbers Question		2013-08-11
		From Lucy: Hello, I have a question about consecutive numbers. So lets say a question tells you to find what three consecutive numbers are that add up to a certain number. To calculate this, would you use 2x+1, 2x+3, 2x+5 or just x, x+2, x+4. Also, the same question for even numbers. Would you use: 2x, 2x+2, 2x+4 or just x, x+2, x+4. My math book is confusing because it uses the first strategy(the 2x+…) in some situations and the second strategy(x+…) in other situations. Thus, can you provide me an explanation of why you would use the strategy that is correct? Specifically, my book answered this question: If “n” is the first of five consecutive odd numbers, what is their average, using n,n+2….=5n+20 and average is n+4(this is the answer),. For the question: the sum of 4 consecutive odd integers must be: Divisible by 8 but not necessarily 16(this is the answer), it used the strategy 2k+1, 2k+3…=8k+16. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. Answered by Harley Weston.

		From Emily Hays: My name is Emily Hays, I am in the 6th grade and my teacher gave me some extra probelms to see if I could solve them. She can't find the KEY and I can't figure out the probelm so she suggested I e-mail you guys to see if you could help us. Here's the Problem: The numbers 1,2,3...,1999 are written on the blackboard in the classroom. Evertime the teacher enters the room he chooses two numbers on the blackboard, say a & b, with a> or equal to b, then he erases them and writes the difference a-b somewhere on the blackboard. After this procedure is carried on 1998 times, there will be only one number left on the blackboard. Prove the last remaining number must be even. I hope you can help us!
