Let's go... They are consecutive and even integers.
Let call the first number as y.
y is an even integer. So its consecutive even integers must be:
y + 2, y + 4, y + 6.
First even integer is y.
Second even integer is y + 2.
Third even integer is y + 4.
Fourth even integer is y + 6.
So, the sum is y + (y+2) + (y+4) + (y+6). This is equal to 44.
So, we have the equation:
y + (y+2) + (y+4) + (y+6) = 44
Let's add the terms...
y + y + y + y + 2 + 4 + 6 = 44
4y + 12 = 44
Let's subtract 12 from both sides...
4y + 12 - 12 = 44 - 12
4y = 32
Now, let's divide by 4...
4y/4 = 32/4
So, y = 8.
First even integer is y = 8
Second even integer is y + 2 => 8 + 2 = 10
Third even integer is y + 4 => 8 + 4 = 12
Fourth even integer is y + 6 => 8 + 6 = 14
So, the four consecutive even integers are 8, 10, 12 and 14.
Let call the first number as y.
y is an even integer. So its consecutive even integers must be:
y + 2, y + 4, y + 6.
First even integer is y.
Second even integer is y + 2.
Third even integer is y + 4.
Fourth even integer is y + 6.
So, the sum is y + (y+2) + (y+4) + (y+6). This is equal to 44.
So, we have the equation:
y + (y+2) + (y+4) + (y+6) = 44
Let's add the terms...
y + y + y + y + 2 + 4 + 6 = 44
4y + 12 = 44
Let's subtract 12 from both sides...
4y + 12 - 12 = 44 - 12
4y = 32
Now, let's divide by 4...
4y/4 = 32/4
So, y = 8.
First even integer is y = 8
Second even integer is y + 2 => 8 + 2 = 10
Third even integer is y + 4 => 8 + 4 = 12
Fourth even integer is y + 6 => 8 + 6 = 14
So, the four consecutive even integers are 8, 10, 12 and 14.
The sum of four consecutive even integers is 44
Four consecutive even numbers are 8,10,12,14
Given :
The sum of four consecutive even integers is 44.
Let the four consecutive even integers are
[tex]n, n+2, n+4, n+6[/tex]
The sum of the four consecutive even integers is 44
[tex]n +n+2+ n+4+n+6=44\\4n+2+4+6=44\\4n+12=44\\Subtract \; 12\\4n=32\\\frac{4n}{4}=\frac{32}{4}\\n=8[/tex]
so the first even number is 8
second even number =[tex]n+2=8+2=10[/tex]
Third even number =[tex]n+4=8+4=12[/tex]
Fourth even number =[tex]n+6=8+6=14[/tex]
Four consecutive even numbers are 8,10,12,14
