Step Step 2: 2: The The easiest easiest way way to to find find the the sum sum is is to to multiply multiply the the # # of of terms terms by by the the average average value value of of each each term. term. So So we we need need to to find find the the average average value! value!

Tricky wordings
Three Friends sit down to eat 14 slices of Pizza. If two of the Friends eat the same number of slices,and the third eats two more slices than each of the other two, how many slices are eaten by the third friend? Step #1: Assign letter variables: f1 = friend #1 f2 = friend #2 f3 = friend #3 F1 + f2 + f3 = 14 Three Friends sit down to eat 14 slices of Pizza. F1 = f2 If two of the Friends eat the same number of slices F3 = 2 + f1 The third eats two more slices than each of the other two F3 = 2 + f2 The third eats two more slices than each of the other two F3 = ? How many slices are eaten third friend? Recognize that you have 3 unknowns, but also more than the necessary 3 equations to solve for everything! So this is solvable! Lets do it: 2f2 + f3 = 14 2 (f3 2) + f3 = 14 3f3 4 = 14 See Video Explanation F3 = 18/3 = 6

Divisibility
Divisor Divisibility Condition Examples
1 2 3 4 5 6
Automatic. The last digit is even (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8). The sum of the digits is divisible by 3. For large numbers, digits may be summed iteratively. The last two digits divisible by 4. The last digit is 0 or 5. It is divisible by 2 and by 3.
Any integer is divisible by 1. 1,294: 4 is even. 405 => 4+0+5=9 and 636 => 6+3+6=15 which both are clearly divisible by 3. 16,499,205,854,376 => 1+6+4+9+9+2+0+5+8+5+4+3+7+6 sums to 69 => 6 + 9 = 15 => 1 + 5 = 6, which is clearly divisible by 3. 54632: 32 is divisible by 4. 495: the last digit is 5. 1,458: 1 + 4 + 5 + 8 = 18, so it is divisible by 3 and the last digit is even, hence the number is divisible 6.
