The weights of 5 girls are 70 pounds, 68 pounds, 85 pounds, 62 pounds, and 70 pounds. Nina finds measures of center and measures of variation of this data. Match the descriptions to the type of measure.
She found the value that appeared the
most often
She added all the values and divided the
sum by 5.
She found the middle value after
arranging all the values from least
to greatest
She found the mean and then
found the average deviation of
the weights from the mean.
She found the difference of the
upper quartile and the lower
quartile
She found the difference of the least
and the greatest values.

Since it's the sum of 2 things, we know that you're going to add them to get -72. We also know that they'll both be negative. Consecutive means one after another -- in this case, that means an odd number plus the next odd number. How do we find an odd number from another odd number? You add 2 (example: 1 + 2 = 3, and 3 is the next odd number after 1). Since we can't be certain of the number, we'll have to use the variable x. So here's what we know:
x           +                 (x+2)             =              -72.

First #                  Second odd #                Total

Wait a second, doesn't that look like an equation? x+(x+2)=-72. Now we can just solve like a normal equation!

x+(x+2)=-72
2x+2=-72
      -2   -2
2x=-74
x=-37.
Now, we need to find which one is the larger number, because that's what the problem asks us. 

-37-39=-76. So we know that it's not -39.
-37-35=-72. This is correct, and which is the larger integer? -37. There's your answer!
