Question

The sum of four consecutive integers is 150. What are the integers? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

let x represent the first number. write expression to represent the other three numbers.

1st: x

2nd: x+1

3rd: x+2

4th: x+3

------------

b. write and solve an equation to find the four numbers

-----------------------------------

Add those expressions to get:

4x+6 = 150

4x = 144

x = 38

x+1 = 39

x+2 = 40

x+3 = 41

-----------------------

Answer 2

Answer:

$let \: the \: number \: be \: x \: \\ 2nd \: number \: be \: 2x \: \\ 3rd \: number \: be \: 3x \: and \: \\ 4 \: be \: 4x \: \\ according \: to \: question \:$

$x + 2x + 3x + 4x = 150 \\ 10x = 150 \\ x = 150 \div 10 \\ x = 15$

$2nd \: number \: = 2 \times 15 = 30 \\ 3rd \: number \: = 3 \times 15 = 45 \\ 4th \: number \: = 4 \times 15 = 60$
