Answer:

The sum of four integers is 34. What is the smallest of the four integers?

the smallest integer is 7

Explanation:

from the question "The sum of four integers is 34. What is the smallest of the four integers"

it implies , let n b the number

now four consecutive integers will be n , n+1 , n+2 , n+3

n is the smallest integer while n + 3 is the largest integer

now, sum of the four consecutive integers will be n + (n+1) + (n+2) + ( n+3)

now back to the question.

n + (n+1) + (n+2) + ( n+3) = 34

Open the bracket

4n + 6 = 34

4n = 34 - 6

4n = 28

divide by 4

n = 7

therefore the smallest integer is 7

to check your answer

from n + (n+1) + (n+2) + ( n+3) = 34

7 + 7+1 + 7+ 2 +7+3=34

34=34........... proved
