wouldn't the smaller two be one apart, and the larger two would be two apart?
so
smallest --> x
second ---> x+1
third ---> x+3
then x + x+1 + x+3 = 193
solve for x
thank you!
x+x+1+x+3=193
3x+4=193
-4 -4
3x=189
x=63
3x+4=193 you dont know what x is so you cant go any farther i just got done with this unit
uhmm i think you would subtract 4 from both sides so that would jsut leave you with 3x
3x+4=193
-4 -4
3x= 189
then you would divide 3 from both sides
which leaves you with 63
x=63 =]
oh and make surewhen you do these promblems you go back and check it
