1. Find four consecutuive integers whose sum is 682. then there is a chart. on the left it says consecutive integers:
First: x
Second: x+1
Third: x+2
Fourth: x+3
Then on the right it says algabraic representation:
x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3 = 682
4x+1+2+3 = 682
4x+6 = 682
4x = 676
x = 169 (First)
.
Second: x+1 = 169+1 = 170
Third: x+2 = 169+2 = 171
Fourth: x+3 = 169+3 = 172
