Using the Distributive Property we can put this in its simplest form.
6(x+2)
(6)(x)+(6)(2)
6x+12
The correct answer would be the first and the last ones.
Let the smallest integer be x
x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) = 288
4x +12 =288
4x= 276
x = 69
The integers are 69, 71, 73 and 75
Yes because if you check with your math (or a calculator) 365 times 8 is 2,920. Therefore, Isaac's answer is reasonable. Another way you can maybe do it is round 365 days to 370 and 8 to 10 and then multiply. 370 times 10 is 3,700. Since 2,920 is close to 3,700, then the answer is reasonable.
Hope I helped!!
