Answer:
The sum of four integers is 34. What is the smallest of the four integers?
the smallest integer is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
from the question "The sum of four integers is 34. What is the smallest of the four integers"
it implies , let n b the number
now four consecutive integers will be n , n+1 , n+2 , n+3
n is the smallest integer while n + 3 is the largest integer
now, sum of the four consecutive integers will be n + (n+1) + (n+2) + ( n+3)
now back to the question.
n + (n+1) + (n+2) + ( n+3) = 34
Open the bracket
4n + 6 = 34
4n = 34 - 6
4n = 28
divide by 4
n = 7
therefore the smallest integer is 7
to check your answer
from n + (n+1) + (n+2) + ( n+3) = 34
7 + 7+1 + 7+ 2 +7+3=34
34=34........... proved
