OpenStudy (aum):

Let the first integer be N. Then the four consecutive integers are: N, N+1, N+2, N+3 Add the four integers, equate to 286 and solve for N.

how

OpenStudy (aum):

Simplify: N + N + 1 + N + 2 + N + 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4N+6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4n+6 = 286, solve for n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -6 from each side

OpenStudy (aum):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Substract 6, and divide by 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

70

OpenStudy (aum):

Yes, N = 70. So the four consecutive integers are: 70, 71, 72 and 73.
