Find a set of four consecutive positive integers such that the greatest integer in the set is twice the least integer in the set.
-------------
Let the least integer be "x"
Then the 4th integer is x+3
-----------
EQUATION:
x+3 = 2x
x = 3 (the 1st integer in the set)
x+3 = 6 (the 4th integer in the sequence)
The integers are 3,4,5,6
