A+B+C+D = 1680 \n" ); document.write( "B = A+1 \n" ); document.write( "C = A+2 \n" ); document.write( "D = A+3 \n" ); document.write( "Substitute the values into the original equation. \n" ); document.write( "A + (A+1) + (A+2) + (A+3) = 1680 \n" ); document.write( "Add \n" ); document.write( "4A + 6 = 1680 \n" ); document.write( "Subtract 6 from each side \n" ); document.write( "4A = 1674 \n" ); document.write( "Divide each side by 4 \n" ); document.write( "A = 418.5 \n" ); document.write( "B = 419.5 \n" ); document.write( "C = 420.5 \n" ); document.write( "D = 421.5 \n" ); document.write( "Check by adding these together. Hmmm... these add together, but a .5 is not a natural number. Can you please check the initial question to make certain it is phrased correctly and has the right figure?
