The sum of four integers is 34. What is yhe smallest of the four integers

The sum of four integers is 34. What is the smallest of the four integers?

the smallest integer is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question "The sum of four integers is 34. What is the smallest of the four integers"

it implies, let n b the number

now four consecutive integers will be n, n+1, n+2, n+3

n is the smallest integer while n + 3 is the largest integer

now, sum of the four consecutive integers will be n + (n+1) + (n+2) + (n+3)

now back to the question.

n + (n+1) + (n+2) + (n+3) = 34

Open the bracket

4n + 6 = 34

4n = 34 - 6

4n = 28

divide by 4

n = 7

therefore the smallest integer is 7

to check your answer

from n + (n+1) + (n+2) + (n+3) = 34

7 + 7+1 + 7 + 2 + 7+3=34

34=34 ... proved
