Question

The number 66 can be made by adding four consecutive numbers. What are those numbers? Make sure to explain how you solved the question. (Hint: consecutive means one right after the other)

Answer 1

Solution :-

Let the numbers be x, x+1 ,x+2,x+3.

Atq,

➡x+x+1 +x+2+x+3= 66

➡4x+6=66

➡4x=66-6

➡4x=60

➡x=60/4

➡x=15

Hence, the numbers are :-

1. 15
2. 15+1=16
3. 15+2=17
4. 15+3=18

Answer 2

$\huge{ \tt \blue{sᴏlᴜᴛɪᴏɴ :}}$

➨ Let the numbers be x , x+1 , x+2 and x+3.

$\tt \blue{According \: To \: The \: Question :}$

$\tt{➨ x + x + 1 + x +2 + x + 3 = 66}$

$\tt{➨ \: 4x + 6 = 66}$

$\tt{➨ \: 4x = 66 - 6}$

$\tt{➨ \: 4x = 60}$

$\tt{➨ \: x = \frac{60}{4}}$

$\tt{➨ \: x = 15}$

${\huge {\tt {\blue{Numbers : }}}}$

$\tt{(1) \: 15}$

$\tt{(2) \: 15 + 1 = 16}$

$\tt{(3) \: 15 + 2 = 17}$

$\tt{(4) \: 15 + 3 = 18}$
