Question

the sum of four consecutive number is X + 6 the sum when each of the four number is decreased by 3​

Answer 1

no.are0,1,2,3

x+x+1+x+2+x+3=x+6

4x+6=x+6

4x=x

x=0

sum when each is decreased by 3 is

(-3)+(-2)+(-1)+0= -6

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

So, according to question

x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) = x+6

4x + 6 = x+6

4x-x = 6-6

3x = 0

x= 0÷3

x=0

Therefore, the four consecutive no. are 0,1,2,3.

If we subtract 3 from each no. then the four number will be = -4,-3,-2,-1

Therefore, the sum of the four no. after decreasing 3 = -4+(-3)+(-2)+(-1)

= -10
