Answer:

89

Explanation:

Hello!

Consecutive integers are whole numbers that are directly after each other.

The first integer can be represented as x, and the next one as x + 1, then x + 2, and lastly x + 3. The sum of all these is equal to 362.

Solve for x


  • x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 362

  • 4x + 6 = 362

  • 4x = 356

  • x = 89

Since x is the smallest integer in the set, the answer is 89. The other integers would be 90, 91, and 92.
