Question

A set of 4 consecutive integers sums to 6. What are the integers?

Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

4 consecutive integers ===> 6

x = first integer

Step 02:

We must write the equation

x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) = 6

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 6

4x = 6 - 1 - 2 - 3

4x = 6 - 6

x = 0 / 4

x = 0

x = first integer = 0

x + 1 = second integer = 1

x + 2 = third integer = 2

x + 3 = fourth integer = 3
