Four consecutive integer numbers add to 2. What are the numbers?
Let the smallest integer=x
The three consecutive integers will be x+1,x+2, x+3
Sum of four consecutive integers=2
So, x+x+1+x+2+x+3=2
Adding like terms, we get
4x+6=2
Subtract 6 from both sides
4x+6-6=2-6
4x+0=-4
4x=-4
To solve for x, let us divide by 4 on both sides
4/4x=-4/4
x=-1
So, the four consecutive integers are =x=-1
x+1=-1+1=0
x+2=-1+2=1
x+3=-1+3=2
So, the four consecutive integers are:= -1,0,1,2
