Question

the sum of four consecutive even integers is 76. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

16, 18, 20, and 22

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between any 2 even numbers is 2.

You can write 4 consecutive even numbers as n + (n+2) + (n+4) + (n+6)

So, n + (n+2) + (n+4) + (n+6) = 76

or 4n + 12 = 76

or 4n = 64

or n = 64/4 = 16

Thus, your 4 numbers are: 16, 18, 20, 22
