Question

The sum of 4 consecutive integers is 326. what is the second number in the sequence

Answer 1

80+81+82+83 is 326

That means the second number is 81

Answer 2

Answer:

The second number in the sequence is 81.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of 4 consecutive integers is 326.

Let us assume that the first number is x. So the next numbers would be,

$=x+1,x+2,x+3$

Sum of these number would be,

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

As it is given as 326, so

$\Rightarrow x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=326$

$\Rightarrow x+x+1+x+2+x+3=326$

$\Rightarrow 4x+6=326$

$\Rightarrow 4x=326-6$

$\Rightarrow 4x=320$

$\Rightarrow x=80$

Hence, the second number (x+1) will be 81.
