A set of 4 consecutive integers adds up to 314. What is the least of the 4 integers?
First integer is x. The next 3 are x + 1, x + 2, and x + 3. Set up our equation:
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 314
Group x terms and group constnats
(x + x + x + x) + (1 + 2 + 3) = 314
Simplify and combine
4x + 6 = 314
Enter this in the equation solver
x = 77
