Answer:

The Equation to find the smallest integer =

4x + 6 = 170

The smallest integer = First integer = x = 41

Step-by-step explanation:

Four consecutive integers is represented by:

First Integer = x

Second Integer = x + 1

Third Integer = x + 2

Fourth Integer = x + 3

The sum of four consecutive integers is 170.

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 170

The Equation to find the smallest integer =

4x + 6 = 170

4x = 170 - 6

4x = 164

x = 164/4

x = 41

Therefore:

The Equation to find the smallest integer =

4x + 6 = 170

The smallest integer = First integer = x = 41

If you use fractions, the answer you get will always be an exact answer in the form of a fraction. resorting to decimals means that you may run into rounding errors and therefore get only an approximate answer. e.g. the fraction 1/3 cannot be exactly represented by a decimal.fractions can be easier to represent the number rather then using decimals which involve writing out many numbers it does not affect the accuracy of the answer UNLESS you are rounding up and down the numbers
