The sum of four consecutive integers is 266. What are the integers?

Let the four consecutive integers be x,x + 1,x + 2,x + 3

According to the question


x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 266


4x + 6 = 266


4x = 266-6 = 260


x = 65


(divide by 4 on both the sides)


Hence the 4 consecutive integers are 65,65 + 1,65 + 2,65 + 3


= 65,66,67,68
