Question

The sum of four consecutive even numbers is 284.What would be the smallest number​

Answer 1

Let the four numbers be x,2x,3x,4x
x+2x+3x+4x=284
10x=284
x=284/10
x=28.4
Therefore 28.4 would be the smallest number

Answer 2

Answer:The smallest no. is 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smallest no. be x

x+x+2+x+4+x+6=284

4x+12=284

4x=284-12

4x=272

x=272/4

x=68
