What is
means the union of set B and set C. Union means to include all the numbers that are in either set B or set C (without listing duplicates twice). The numbers 1, 3, 5, 8, 9, and 11 appear in B and the numbers 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 12 appear in C. Including all of those numbers in the set symbol gives the correct answer.

Suppose A, B, and C are statements such that C is false if exactly one of A or B is true. If C is true, which of the following is also true?
Suppose A, B, and C are statements such that C is false if exactly one of A or B is true. If C is true, which of the following is also true?
Step 1: Let's break down the logic problem...
C is false if A or B is True.
Example: C-False, A-True, B-False.
Step 2: Try to find what happens if C is true
If C is true, "or" changes to "and", and True becomes false..
So: C-True, A-False, B-False..
A and B must both be false for C to be true..
Answer: Both A and B are False.

Method 1:
Since the average of 
consecutive number is 
, we can express this as:
Cross-multiply
Subtract 
on both sides then divide both sides by 
Since we are looking for the second term, just plug into expression 
. That means answer is 
or 
.
Method 2:
Since the average of 
consecutive number is 
, this means the median is also 
. Consecutive means one after another and with each term having the same difference, we know the mean equals the median. Since there are 
terms, the median will have 
terms left and right of it. Then, the series will go
