@2go the maths is some simple. Okay let me try it out
like you posted that the sum if four consecutive numbers is -46.
Then, let the numbers be x, (x - 1), (x - 2) and (x - 3).
Therefore; x + (x - 1) + (x - 2) + (x - 3) = -46
then, collect like terms
x + x + x + x - 1 - 2 - 3 = -46
when you add all the varibles and figures respectively, you will have
4x - 6 = -46
Collect like terms
Note, that when - is moving across equal sign it changes to + sign
4x = -46 + 6
4x = -40
now, dividing both sides by 4
the reason for this is to make x the subject formula
4x/4 = -40/4
x = -10
since x = -10, put the value of x in x, (x - 1), (x - 2) and (x - 3)
therefore, the numbers are -10, (-10 - 1), (-10 - 2) and (-10 - 3)
which will give you
-10, -11, -12 and -13 Answer
@2go can you check if the answer is accurate?

The sum if four consecutive numbers is -46.
Find the number.
This means there are 4 numbers the numbers will be represent as t, (t - 1), (t - 2) and (t - 3).
Now, we add all the consecutive four number and equal it to -46
t + (t - 1) + (t - 2) + (t - 3) = -46
Againt, the next step is to collect like terms
(t + t + t + t) - (1 - 2 - 3) = -46
After which you have added all the varibles and figures respectively, we will have
4t - 6 = -46
Now, we collect like terms
4t = -46 + 6
4t = -40
Divide both sides by 4 to make t the subject formula
4t/4 = -40/4
t = -10
Now you have t = -10, replace the value of t in the numbers t, (t - 1),
(t - 2) and (t - 3)
therefore, the numbers are -10, (-10 - 1), (-10 - 2) and (-10 - 3)
Answer = -10, -11, -12 and -13
