The sum of four consecutive even integers is at least 244. find the least possible value of the first integer.

x + x +1 + x +2 + x + 3 >= 244

=》 4x + 6 >= 244

=》 4x >= 238

=》 x >= 238/4 >= 59.5

since x is an integer...least value of x is 60

The least possible even integer is 58

Let's let x be an even integer. The next three would be shown by x+2, x+4 x+6 so now we can add all these to equal 244. Shown with an equation would look like:

x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6 = 244

Combine like terms will be:

4x+12=244

Subtract 12 from both sides we will get

4x=232

Now Divide each side by 4

x=58

So now put x in the above equation and we get  the numbers

x=58,

x+2= 60

X+4 =62

x+6= 64

The least one is 58

There are 25 students in the class.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the number of students in the class, you can add the number of data points together. Because the name of each person will only be recorded once and only to one data value, that means by adding the total number of data points collected, you can find out the number of students in the sixth-grade class. There are three data points on 3, two data points on 4, five data points on 5, eight data points on 6, two data points on 7, one data point on 8, and four data points on 9, this means the total number of students will be 3 + 2 + 5 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 25 students, so this will be your answer.
