Question

The sum of four consecutive number is 94. what are the largest of these numbers?

Answer 1

The sum of four consecutive numbers is 94.

You have 4 unknown numbers that add up to 94, if you symbolize the smaller one as x, the others will be:

2nd number: x+1

3rd number x+2

4rth number: x+3

If you add them you'll get a one unknown equation:

x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=94

From this equation you can clear the value of the smaller number:

`\begin{gathered} x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=94 \\ \\ x+x+1+x+2+x+3=94 \\ 4x+6=94 \\ 4x=88 \\ x=22 \end{gathered}`

The smaller value of the 4 counsecutive values that add up to 94 is 22

The other three are then 23, 24 and 25
