Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive means in a row

Let x be the first integer

x+1 is the second

x+2 is the third

x+3 is the 4th

The sum is 50

x+ x+1 + x+2 + x+3 = 50

Combine like terms

4x+6 = 50

Subtract 6 from each side

4x+6-6 = 50-6

4x = 44

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 44/4

x = 11
