Question

The sum of 4 consecutive integers is 182. W hat is the sum of the middle two numbers?

Answer 1

91

Explanation:

Let

x = first number

x+1 = second number

x+2 = third number

x+3 = fourth number

Total = 182

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 182

4x + 6 = 182

Subtract 6 from both sides

4x + 6 - 6 = 182 - 6

4x = 176

Divide both sides by 4

x = 176 / 4

= 44

x = 44

x = 44

x+1 = 44 + 1 = 45

x+2 = 44 + 2 = 46

x+3 = 44 + 3 = 47

Sum of the two middle numbers = 45 + 46

= 91
