THE sum of 4 consecutive odd integers is 146. What are the 4 integers?

Answer 1

First set up an equation where x= the first number

x+1 is the second number

x+2 is the third number

x+3 is the fourth number

SO: x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=146

COMBINE LIKE TERMS

X+X+X+X+X =4X

1+2+3+=6

4x+6=146 (subtract 6 from both sides)

-6=146-6

4x=140 (divide both sides by 4)

x=35

x=35

x+1=35+1=36

x+2=37

x=3=35+3=38

35+36+37+38=146
