1st number = x = some even integer
2nd number = x+2 = the even integer just after x
3rd number = x+4 = the even integer just after x+2
4th number = x+6 = the even integer just after x+4

One possible equation to form is
5(x + x+4) = 2(x+2 + x+6) + 9604
Pay attention to the color coding to see where all the expressions fit in.

The left side is of the form 5*(1st + 3rd)
The right side is of the form 2*(2nd + 4th) + 9604

I'll let the student solve that equation for x.

Tony found four consecutive even integers such that 5 times the sum of the first and third was 9604 greater than twice the sum of the second and the fourth. Find the numbers and express each in standard form.

n-3, n-1,n+1,n+3

5 times the sum of the first and third was 9604 greater than twice the sum of the second and the fourth.
5(n-3+n+1)= 2(n-1+n+3)+9604
5(2n-2)=2(2n+2)+9604
10n-10 = 4n+4+9604
6n = 9618
n= 1603
n-3= 1603-3= 1600
n-1= 1603-1= 1602
n+11603+1=1604
n+3= 1603+3- 1606
CHECK
5*(1600+1604)= 2(1602+1606)+9604 =16020
