Answer 1

@welshfella

Answer 2

I'm guessing integer 2 = (integer 1)+2, since they are all even?

Answer 3

umm... i guess that is a reasonable assumption yes.

Answer 4

*even and (mostly) consecutive

Answer 5

\[I_1 + I_2 = 154\]
\[I_2 = I_1+2\]
\[I_3 = I_2 +2\]

Answer 6

so that would mean that i 2 is 156?

Answer 7

first even number = n
n + n + 2 = 154
2n = 152

Answer 8

79 is i1?

Answer 9

no n = 152/2

Answer 10

i1 = 76

Answer 11

so if n=76 that would mean I2 is 78

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

and that would mean i3 is,,, 80?

Answer 14

right

Answer 15

and that would be the answers?

Answer 16
