there are 4 people of different heights standing in order of increasing height . the difference is 2 inches between the first person and the second person , and also between the second person and the third person . the difference between the third person and the fourth person is 6 inches and the average height is 77 . how tall is the fourth person ?
"let x be the height of the first person . then the heights are x , x + 2 , x + 4 , and x + 10 . 4 x + 16 = 4 ( 77 ) = 308 x = 73 and the fourth person has a height of 73 + 10 = 83 inches the answer is c ."
add(divide(subtract(multiply(77, 4), add(6, add(4, 6))), 4), add(4, 6))
