Let $S = 2010 + 2011 + \cdots + 4018$. Compute the residue of $S$, modulo 2009.

Notice that

2010 ≡ 1 mod 2009

2011 ≡ 2 mod 2009

2012 ≡ 3 mod 2009

...

4017 ≡ 2008 mod 2009

4018 ≡ 0 mod 2009

So really, S is just the sum of the first 2008 positive integers:

where we invoke the formula

and so S ≡ 0 mod 2009.

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
