\n" ); document.write( "I don't understand this problem: If N is the first of six consecutive odd numbers and 42 is the average of these numbers, find N.
\n" ); document.write( "
Since N is the 1st number, then others are: N + 2, N + 4, N + 6, N + 8, and N + 10
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 
\n" );
document.write( "\"matrix%281%2C3%2C+%286N+%2B+30%29%2F6%2C+%22=%22%2C+42%29\" 
\n" );
document.write( "6N + 30 = 252 ------- Cross-multiplying
\n" );
document.write( "6N = 222
\n" );
document.write( "N, or 1st number = \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+222%2F6%2C+or%2C+37%29%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "That's all!! Nothing CONFUSING and/or COMPLEX! \n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
