Question

The sum of four consecutive integers is 286.

Find the Integers.

Answer 1

let the smallest integer be defined as x, then

x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3) = 286

then solve for x

Answer 2

please show step to solve of x??

Answer 3

Just combine all the x terms and the constants:

4x + 6 = 286

subtract 6 from both sides

4x = 280

divide by 4

x = 70

So, your integers are 70, 71, 72, 73

Answer 4

ok I see it now...thanks

Answer 5

You can check the answer by seeing if 70 + 71 + 72 + 73 equals 286
