80 = (x) + (x+1) + (x+7) + (x+8)
Combining like terms, it follows that…
80 = 4x + 16
Subtracting 16 from both sides gives us…
64 = 4x
Dividing by 4 on both sides results in…
x = 16
Now that we have our x value, we can simply add 1, 7, and 8, respectively, to 16 to get our solution:
The set of numbers is [16, 17, 23, 24]
