You can put this solution on YOUR website! Please help me solve this equation: There are 4 consecutive integers with a sum of 290. Which integers are they?
---------------
The hard way:
n + n+1 + n+2 + n+3 = 290
4n+6 = 290
4n = 284
n = 71
--> 71, 72, 73, 74
===================
290/4 = 72.5, the center
2 integers below, 2 above
--> same answer
