Answer:
88
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 4 numbers that sum to 354.
So, let us use a letter to represent the first consecutive number in the sum.
Let it be x.
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 354
We want (x + 1), the second number in the sequence.
Simplify x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 354
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 4x + 6 = 354
4x + 6 = 354
4x = 354 - 6
4x = 348
x = 348/4 = 87
so x + 1 = 87 + 1 = 88
