20 points

Answer 1

33

Explanation:

Since 31 + 32 + 33 + 34 = 130 and they are consecutive.

Answer 2

33

Explanation:

1st integer =x

2nd integer = x+1

3rd integer = x+2

4th integer = x+3

sum of four consecutive integers is 130

x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3) = 130

Combine like terms

4x+6 = 130

Subtract 6 from each side

4x+6-6 = 130-6

4x = 124

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 124/4

x=31

Find the third number

x+2 =31+2 = 33
