The sum of 4 consecutive integers is 254. What is the value of the greatest integer?

Let

x -----> the first integeer

x+1 ----> second integer

x+2----> third integer

x+3 ----> fourth integer

we have that

x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=254

solve for x

4x+6=254

4x=254-6

4x=248

x=62

therefore

the greatest integer is x+3

so

62+3=65

answer is 65
