Five consecutive integers are added. The resulting sum is 6 more than the greatest of the five integers. What was the smallest of the five integers

Consecutive means in order, so 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc are all consecutive integers. So you would have to figure out what x+6 is. The numbers would be -1, 0, 1, 2, and 3. They are 5 numbers in a row and when you add them together, you'd get 5, which is exactly 6 more than the smallest number.
Hope this helps!

irspow

n+n+1+n+2+n+3+n+4=n+4+6

5n+10=n+10

4n=0

n=0  so zero was the smallest number

check

0+1+2+3+4=4+6

10=10

correct
