Let your middle integer be x. Then your 5 consecutive integers will be:
x-2, x-1, x, x+1, and x+2

Sum of all 5 integers:
(x-2) + (x-1) + (x) + (x+1) + (x+2)
= x -2 + x - 1 + x + x + 1 + x + 2
= 5x

Since the sum equals 200, we have:
5x = 200
x = 40

Your smallest integer in terms of x is x - 2, which is:
40 - 2 = 38.

Find four consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the first three exceeds the fourth by 18?

We have three consecutive odd integers, To make it easy, I am going to choose the one in the middle to be called X. Therefore, the first odd integer will be called (X-2) and the third odd integer will be called (X+2). The fourth odd integer will be called (X+4).So the sum of the first three, is (X-2) + (X) + (X+2) or X+X+X -2 +2 this equals 3X.Then, 3X -18 equals the fourth odd integer which is (X+4), so 3X - 18 = X + 4Subtract an X from each side for 2X - 18 = 4. Add 18 to each side for 2X = 22. Solve for X, X equals 11. So the first consecutive odd integer is 11-2 or 9, the third is 11+2 or 13 and the fourth is X + 4 or 15. To Check, 9 + 11 + 13 = 33. 15 + 18 = 33

What is a difference between an imaginary and an irrational number?

An irrational number is a subset of the set of real numbers. So a rational number is an number which can be expresses as a ratio (fraction) of a/b where a is any integer, and b is any nonzero integer. Note that integers are real numbers. So irrational numbers are all real numbers which are not rational numbers.Note that all of the numbers so far are real numbers. Now for imaginary numbers. Look at the KhanAcademy video or MathsIsFun.Take a number -1 and try to square root. Note that (-1) times (-1) equals positive 1. So we created a number i, which when squared equals -1. This is the imaginary unit number. Now you can take any real number, and multiply that by i to get any imaginary number.
