Answer 2

17

Explanation:

Let x, x +1, x + 2, x + 3 be four consecutive integers.

`\therefore \: x + x +1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 74 \\ \therefore \: 4x + 6 = 74 \\ \therefore \: 4x = 74 - 6 \\ \therefore \: 4x = 68 \\ \therefore \: x = (68)/(4) \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{x = 17}}`

Hence, first integer is 17.
