1.	The Sum Of Four Consecutive Even Numbers Is 292. What Would Be The Smallest Number?
Answer» Let the four CONSECUTIVE even numbers be 2(x - 2), 2(x - 1), 2x, 2(x + 1) Their sum = 8x - 4 = 292 =&GT; x = 37 Smallest number is: 2(x - 2) = 70. Let the four consecutive even numbers be 2(x - 2), 2(x - 1), 2x, 2(x + 1) Their sum = 8x - 4 = 292 => x = 37 Smallest number is: 2(x - 2) = 70.

The Sum Of Four Consecutive Even Numbers Is 292. What Would Be The Smallest Number?

Answer»

Let the four CONSECUTIVE even numbers be 2(x - 2), 2(x - 1), 2x, 2(x + 1)

Their sum = 8x - 4 = 292 =&GT; x = 37

Smallest number is: 2(x - 2) = 70.

Let the four consecutive even numbers be 2(x - 2), 2(x - 1), 2x, 2(x + 1)

Their sum = 8x - 4 = 292 => x = 37

Smallest number is: 2(x - 2) = 70.
