Question 259741: The sum of four consecutive integers is 1 more than the third. Find them
Answer by drk(1908)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x, x+1, x+2, x+3 be the four consecutive integers.
From above, we get
x+x+1+x+2+x+3 = x+2 + 1
simplify to get
4x + 6 = x + 3
subtract x to get
3x + 6 = 3
subtract 6 to get
3x = -3
divide to get
x = -1
So, the four integers are
{-1, 0, 1, 2}
