The smallest of the four numbers is x.
Since the four numbers are consecutive, this means that each number is one more than the previous.
Therefore, the four numbers are:
x
x + 1
x+1 + 1 = x+2
x+2 + 1 = x+3

Now, we are given that the sum (s) of the four numbers is 2174
This means that:
s = x+x+1+x+2+x+3
s = 4x + 6

We are given that s = 2174. Substitute with s in the above equation and solve for x as follows:
2174 = 4x + 6
4x = 2174 - 6
4x = 2168
x = 2168 / 4
x = 542

Based on the above calculations, the four numbers are:
542, 543, 544 and 555

 <span>Your four integers are: 
x 
x + 1 
x + 2 
x + 3 

The sum of them is: 
x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 

So: 
x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 2174 
4x + 6 = 2174 
4x + 6 - 6 = 2174 - 6 
4x = 2168 
4x/4 = 2168/4 
x = 542 

Substituting 542 for x gives you integers of 542, 543, 544 and 545. 

(continuation) The smallest of four consecutive integers is n. What expression represents the next larger integers? Write an expression for the sum of four consecutive integers, the smallest of which is n. Write an equation that states that the sum of four consecutive integers is s. Solve the equation for n in terms of s. Check that your answer to the previous question satisfies this equation by considering the case s= 2174. 

By using the work above, you should be able to answer the questions in the continuation. </span>

Find the surface area of a rectangular prism that is 16 inches long, 12 inches wide, and 5 inches high.
OverLord2011 [107]
We have an equation for the surface area of a rectangular prism:
A= 2 (w*l+ l*h+ h*w)

Plug l= 16 in, w= 12 in, and h= 5 in into the above equation, we have:
A= 2 (12 in*16 in+ 16 in* 5 in+ 5 in* 12 in)= 664 in^(2).

The final answer is 664 in^(2).

Hope this is helpful~
