Question

The sum of four consecutive integers is 386. What is the fourth integer?

Answer 1

The 4 consecutive integers are 95, 96, 97 and 98.

The fourth integer is 98.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the 4 consecutive integers to be 'x' , 'x+1' , 'x + 2' , 'x + 3'  

The sum of the 4 consecutive integers= 386

x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) = 386

4x + 6 = 386

4x = 380

x = 380/4

x = 95

x+1 = 96

x+2 = 97

x+3= 98

The 4 consecutive integers are 95, 96, 97 and 98.

The fourth integer is 98.
