Question

The sum of 4 consecutive integers is 354.
What is the second number in this sequence?

Answer 1

Answer: Second integer is 87

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of four consecu. integers = 354

Let the integers be x, x+1, x+2 , x+3.

Sum = 354

x+x+1+x+2+x+3 = 354

4x+6 = 354

4x = 354 - 6

4x = 348

x = 348/4

x = 87

Therefore, first integer = x =87

Second integer = x+1 = 88

Third integer = x+2 = 89

Fourth integer = x+3 = 90

So, second integer is 88 .

Answer 2

87

Explanation:

Step 1: X is the first number

Step 2: X + 1 is the second number

Step 3: X + 2 is the third number

Step 4: X +3 is the fourth number

Step 5: Take the sum of all of those:

4x+6=354

4x=348

x=87

The second number in the sequence is 88.

87,88,89,90 = 354
