Question 830278
The sum of four consecutive whole numbers are 170. Find the largest number 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


x + (x+1) + (x+2) + (x+3) = 170


x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3 = 170


4x + 6 = 170


4x = 170-6


4x = 164


x = 164/4


x = 41


----------------------


x = 41


x+1 = 41+1 = 42


x+2 = 41+2 = 43


x+3 = 41+3 = 44


----------------------


The four numbers are 41,42,43,44. The largest is <font color="red">44</font>
