Question

The sum of four consecutive integers is 342. What is the third term in the sequence

Answer 1

86

Explanation:

let four consecutive integers: n , n+1 , n+2 , n+3

n + n+1 + n+2 + n+3 = 342

4n + 6 = 342

4n + 6 - 6 = 342 - 6

4n = 336

divid by : 4

n = 84

but the third term is : n +2 so : 84+2 = 86
