Respuesta :
x + x +1 + x +2 + x + 3 >= 244
=》 4x + 6 >= 244
=》 4x >= 238
=》 x >= 238/4 >= 59.5
since x is an integer...least value of x is 60
Answer:
The least possible even integer is 58
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's let x be an even integer. The next three would be shown by x+2, x+4 x+6 so now we can add all these to equal 244. Shown with an equation would look like:
x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6 = 244
Combine like terms will be:
4x+12=244
Subtract 12 from both sides we will get
4x=232
Now Divide each side by 4
x=58
So now put x in the above equation and we get the numbers
x=58,
x+2= 60
X+4 =62
x+6= 64
The least one is 58
