The sum of four consecutive integers equals . What are the four numbers?
Set up an equation where our numbers are n, n + 1, n + 2, and n + 3
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3) =
Group variables and constants together:
(n + n + n + n) + 1 + 2 + 3 =4n + 6 =
Subtract 6 from each side:
4n + 6 - 6 = - 6Cancel the 6 on the left side and we get:
4n = -6Divide each side of the equation by 4 to isolate n:
Cancel the 4 on the left side:
n = -1.5
Since n is not an integer, there are not four consecutive integers which add up to
What is the Answer?
Since n is not an integer, there are not four consecutive integers which add up to
