The sum of four consecutive integers is at least 114. Find the smallest possible values for these numbers.
HOW YOU DO THIS?
Let x = first integer
Then x + 2 = next integer
x + 4 = third integer
x + 6 = fourth consecutive integer
x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 > 114
4x + 12 > 114
4x > 102
thanks
so the first number would be 25.50
then 2nd would be 27.50
Ray -- that can't be right. The directions state that these are EVEN numbers.
is that correct
i don't get tell me please
102 / 4 = 25.5
The nearest even number is 26. That must be the
Check it out: 26 + 28 + 30 + 32 = ?
Aren't these the smallest possible values for these numbers?
yea you had to round
But look consecutive numbers are Numbers which follow each other in order, without gaps, from smallest to largest.
12, 13, 14 and 15 are consecutive numbers.
THEY ARE NOT EVEN
