Answer:
214
Step-by-step explanation:
The set up would be x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854, naturally as the numbers are consecutive. Solving for x:
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854,
x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 854,
4x + 1 + 2 + 3 = 854,
4x + 6 = 854,
4x = 854 - 6 = 848,
x = 848/4 = 212
The third number then should be 212 + 2 = 214
425 is decreased to 319.
The above statement means that a number should be deducted from 425 to get the difference of 319.
Let x be the unknown number.
425 - x = 319
425 - 319 = x
106 = x
106 is the unknown number.
It can be phrased like this: 425 decreased by 106 is 319.
