Question

Find four consecutive even integers whose sum is 244.

Answer 1

so I did this, and couldn't get 244 with integers, is there something I DON'T know?

Answer 2

it cant be 58 60 62 and 64, because I've already been told that is wrong

Answer 3

four consecutive even integers...
x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6
now lets make an equation...
(x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) = 244 (combine like terms)
4x + 12 = 244
4x = 244 - 12
4x = 232
x = 232/4
x = 58
x + 2 = 58 + 2 = 60
x + 4 = 58 + 4 = 62
x + 6 = 58 + 6 = 64
Your numbers are 58,60,62,64
That is not wrong. You got it right.
