The sum of four consecutive integers is 2 What are the four numbers?

Answer 1

Let x represent the first number x+1 represent the second number x+2 represent the third number x+3 represent the fourth number x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) = 2 4x + 6 =2 << group the like terms 4x + 6 - 6 = 2-6 <<subtract 6 on both sides 4x = -4 4x/4 = -4/4 << divide by 4 x=-1 first number : -1 second number: - 1 + 1 = 0

third number : -1 + 2= 1 fourth : -1 + 3= 2
