Four consecutive integer numbers add to 2. What are the numbers?
You're right. Thanks for catching my goof!
Let's try
- 1 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 2
That equals -2
It is...
-1, 0, 1, 2= 2
-1+0+1+2
To find the four consecutive integer numbers that add up to 2, we can set up an equation.
Let's assume the first number is x. Since they are consecutive, the second number would be x + 1, the third number would be x + 2, and the fourth number would be x + 3.
Therefore, the sum of all four numbers is:
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 2
Simplifying the equation:
4x + 6 = 2
Next, we can subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:
4x = -4
Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 4:
x = -1
Thus, the four consecutive integers that add to 2 are -1, 0, 1, and 2.
