The sum of four consecutive intergers is 8 What are the intergers

Consecutive integers are 1 apart

so the 4 are

x, x+1, x+2, x+3

they add to 8

x+x+1+x+2+x+3=8

4x+6=8

minus 6 both sides

4x=2

divide both sides by 4

x=1/2

false, 1/2 is not an integer

if it was adding to 18, then the integers would be 3,4,5,6

but we can't find consecutive integers that add to 8
