What are four consecutive numbers that add up to 36?

Answer 1

Let's represent the four consecutive numbers as x, x+1, x+2, and x+3. The sum of these numbers is x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) = 4x + 6. We know that this sum equals 36, so we can set up the equation 4x + 6 = 36. Solving for x, we find x = 7. Therefore, the four consecutive numbers are 7, 8, 9, and 10.

Answer 2

This is impossible - no four consecutive integers add to 36.
