Question

Find a set of four consecutive positive integers such that the greatest integer in the set is twice the least integer in the set?

Answer 1

four consecutive integers are

3,4,5,6

Explanation:

Let x, x+1, x+2 and x+3 are the four consecutive positive integers

greatest integer is x+3

least integer is x

the greatest integer in the set is twice the least integer

`x+3=2x`

subtract x from both sides

`3=x`

the value of x is 3

x+1 is 4

x+2 is 5

x+3 is 6

so four consecutive integers are

3,4,5,6
