Let x, x+1, x+2, x+3 be the four consecutive integers. \n" ); document.write( "From above, we get \n" ); document.write( "x+x+1+x+2+x+3 = x+2 + 1 \n" ); document.write( "simplify to get \n" ); document.write( "4x + 6 = x + 3 \n" ); document.write( "subtract x to get \n" ); document.write( " 3x + 6 = 3 \n" ); document.write( "subtract 6 to get \n" ); document.write( " 3x = -3 \n" ); document.write( "divide to get \n" ); document.write( " x = -1 \n" ); document.write( "So, the four integers are \n" ); document.write( "{-1, 0, 1, 2} \n" ); document.write( " |
