If the sum of 7 consecutive negative integers is -70, what is the value of the 2nd number in the sequence? Choose the correct option.
A) 8
B) -9
C) -8
D) 9
E) 6
if sum is -70, the average = median = -70/7 = -10 = which is the middle in the sequence.   7/2 = 3.5. When rounded up = 4. So -10 is the 4th in the sequence.   4th - 2nd = 2 numbers away.   -10 + 2= -8   Answer: -8
