Step-by-step explanation:

Data

4 consecutive numbers that add up to 8

First number = n

2nd number = n + 1

3rd number = n + 2

4th number = n + 3

Now, add them up n + n + 1 + n + 2 + n + 3 = 8

Simplify like terms

4n + 6 = 8

4n = 8 - 6

4n = 2

n = 2/4 = 1/2

First number = n = 1/2

2nd number = n + 1 = 1/2 + 1 = 3/2

3rd number = n + 2 = 1/2 + 2 = 5/2

4th number = n + 3 = 1/2 + 3 = 7/2
