Answer 1

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1

If n is the smallest of the consecutive integers, the next integer would be n+1.

Problem 2

The equation is terms of n is going to be

s = n + n + 1 + n + 2 + n+3

Problem 3

Collect like terms on the right

s = 4n + 6

Problem 4

4n + 6 = s             Subtract 6 from both sides

4n = s - 6              Divide by 4

n = (s - 6)/4

Problem 5

Solve for n when s = 2174

n = (2174 - 6)/4

n = 2168 / 4

n = 542

check

n                 = 542

n + 1            = 543

n + 2           = 544

n + 3          = 545

Total            2174         Just as it should
