Answer 1

Answer:

5,6,7,8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathtt{let \: one \: number \: be \: x} \\ \\ \bf{x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 26} \\ \bf{4x + 6 = 26} \\ \bf{4x = 26 - 6} \\ \bf{4x = 20} \\ \bf{x = \frac{20}{4} = 5}$

$\texttt{so \: numbers \: are \: 5,6,7,8}$

Answer 2

Answer:

the numbes are 5, 6, 7, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the sum of four consecutive number is

x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=26

=>4x+6=26

=>4x=26-6=20

=>x=20/4=5

so numbers are x=5, x+1=6,x+2=7, x+3=8
