Answer : 260,262, 264 & 266


Let the four consecutive even numbers be:

(X), (X+2), (X+4), (X+6)
Their sum is 1052.

(X) + (X+2) + (X+4) + (X+6) = 1052


Expanding

4X + 12 = 1052

4X = (1052 - 12) = 1040

X = 260
(X+2) = 260+2 = 262
( X+ 4) = 260 + 4 = 264
(X+6) = 260+6 = 266

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer is down below.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, we will have to use basic Algebra in order to view the solution.

Let the first number be = x

Let the second number be = x+2

Let the third number be= x+4

Let the fourth number be= x+6

(We did the x+ part because consecutive means following continuously..)

Now let's put the equation:

x+x+2+x+4+x+6 = 1052

Let's add all the variables and numbers separately in order to simplify:

4x+12 = 1052

Subtract 12 on both sides.

4x = 1040

Divide 4 on both sides

x = 260

Now, we know the value of x. Let's put it in our numbers.

Let the first number be = x = 260

Let the second number be = x+2 = 262

Let the third number be= x+4 = 264

Let the fourth number be+ x+6 = 266

Now, let's double check to see if our answers are correct.

260+262+264+266 = 1052

Valla! They are.
