I know the answer (looked it up online), but don't understand how to go about getting it. Here is the question: The sum of 4 consecutive 3 digit numbers is 866. What are the 4 numbers? Explain your strategy
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "let x=1st consecutive number
\n" ); document.write( "x+1=2nd consecutive number
\n" ); document.write( "x+2=3rd consecutive number
\n" ); document.write( "x+3=4th consecutive number
\n" ); document.write( "They are all supposed to add up to 866
\n" ); document.write( "x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=866
\n" ); document.write( "4x+6=866
\n" ); document.write( "4x=860
\n" ); document.write( "x=860/4
\n" ); document.write( "x=215
\n" ); document.write( "1st consecutive number=215
\n" ); document.write( "2nd consecutive number=216
\n" ); document.write( "3rd consecutive number=217
\n" ); document.write( "4th consecutive number=218
\n" ); document.write( "Its great 6th graders are learning this stuff. I did not learn this stuff until I was in high school. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
