Let x equal the smallest. The next two are x + 2 and x + 4. If the greatest is 8 less than twice the smallest, then adding 8 to the greatest will make it equal twice the smallest.
2x = x + 4 + 8
Solve for x
2x = x + 12
x = 12
x + 2 = 14
x + 4 = 16
Check it.
16 is 8 less than 2 x 12
It checks.
The smallest is -1
The smallest of seven consecutive even integers whose sum is 700 is 94.
The smallest is 121.
If n is the smallest of the four integers, their sum is 4n+6.

The smallest is -1
The smallest of seven consecutive even integers whose sum is 700 is 94.
three consecutives numbers: a = smallest a+2 a+4 14 less = -14 than twice the smallest = 2a so... a+a+2+a+4=-14+2a 3a+6=-14+2a 3a-2a=-14-6 a=-20 answer: smallest = -20 greatest = -16
The smallest is 121.
If n is the smallest of the four integers, their sum is 4n+6.
It is -2.

For x, which is the largest integer of nconsecutive positive integers of which the smallest is m:x = m + n - 1
It is 42 because 42+43+44 = 129
59,61,63,65 It is 59
Divide the sum of the three consecutive integers by 3: 138/3 = 46. The smallest of these integers will be one less than 46 and the largest will be one more than 46, so the three consecutive integers will be 45, 46, and 47.
Divide the sum of the three consecutive odd integers by 3: -3 /3 = -1. The smallest of these integers will be two less than -1 and the largest will be two more than -1, so the three consecutive odd integers will be -3, -1, and +1.
