a x 3 = ((a + 4) x 2) + 2 ie 3a = 2a + 8 + 2 so a = 10 and other numbers are 12 & 14.
Clarify. Subtract four consecutive numbers ... from what? It appears you mean something like: 22 - 21 - 20 - 19 And the answer is NOT -44. It is -38 ... negative double of the LOWEST number. If this is what you mean, then you have discovered another rule of mathematics. It will always work. 1001 - 1000 - 999 - 998 = -1996 Exactly the negative double of 998
You get a sequence of doubled triangular numbers. This sequence can also be represented by Un = n*(n + 1), [products of pairs of consecutive integers]
The sum will be a positive integer.It will be at least as large as double the smaller integer and at most as large as double the larger integer.
Strictly speaking you are not subtracting 4 consecutive numbers because the first two (+1 and -2) are not consecutive. The result is easy to see algebraically. Suppose you start with x. Then you are calculating x - (x+1) - (x+2) - (x+3). That is, x - x-1 - x-2 - x-3 which simplifies to -2x - 6. Then taking the common factor, -2, out, you get -2*(x+3)
a positive plus a negative is a positive example 9-(-2) you would change the double negative to a positive hope this helped :)
Tennessee and Mississippi are states with consecutive double consonants.
There are infinitely many pair of numbers. Take any two numbers that are coprime. Double both of them. Their GCF is 2.
The English word with three consecutive double letters is "bookkeeper."

Leaving aside 2, you will get so-called singly even numbers, those which are divisible by 2 but not by 4. (e.g. 2 + 4 = 6) The sum of consecutive even integers (n) + (n+2) is 2n +2, which is double the intervening odd number (n+1).
no it doesnt. two negative numbers equal a negative number. two postivie numbers equal a positive number. one negative and one positive number equal a negative number.
The English word BOOKKEEPING or BOOKKEEPER has three sets of consecutive double letters. SUBBOOKKEEPER is the only word with four sets of consecutive double letters, although these words should be hyphenated.

Doubles. * * * * * [Positive] Even numbers. Normally negative numbers are not counted amongst the multiples of a number.
"Near doubles" are 2 consecutive numbers. For example: 2 and 3, 7 and 8, 11 and 12. Therefore, 4 + 5 are near doubles.
