Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: let the first number be x

Let the second number be x+1

Let the third number be x+2

Let the fourth number be x+3

Summing it together = x+x+1+x+2+x+3

Which gives 4x+6

Which is = -56

Then you have 4x+6=-56

4x+6=-56

4x=-56-6

4x=-62

X=--18

Let the first number be x =-18

Let the second number be x+1=-18+1=-17

Let the third number be x +2=-18+2=-16

And let the fourth number be x +3=-18+3=-15
