Find four consecutive even intergers whose sum is 244.
Well we know it will be an addition problem because of the word "sum", and consecutive means numbers which are one right after the other. But the key word is "even", so it would be numbers that are 2 away from each other.
So we will let the first number be x, then the second would be x+2, then x+4 and x+6, so we have;
x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)=244
now we solve for x to get our first number;
4x+12=244
4x=244-12
4x=232
x=
x=58
So our first number would be 58!
Now the next three;
60, 62, 64
58+60+62+64=244
Hope you understand
=)
