Four consecutive integer numbers add to 2. What are the numbers?

Let the smallest integer=x

The three consecutive integers will be x+1,x+2, x+3

Sum of four consecutive integers=2

So, x+x+1+x+2+x+3=2

Adding like terms, we get

4x+6=2

Subtract 6 from both sides

4x+6-6=2-6

4x+0=-4

4x=-4

To solve for x, let us divide by 4 on both sides

4/4x=-4/4

x=-1

So, the four consecutive integers are =x=-1

x+1=-1+1=0

x+2=-1+2=1

x+3=-1+3=2

So, the four consecutive integers are:= -1,0,1,2
