An odd integer can be represented by 2x+1 where x = any integer.
The sum of four consecutive odd integers would be expressed as:
(2x+1)+(2x+3)+(2x+5)+(2x+7) = 216 Simplify.
8x+16 = 216 Subtract 16 from both sides.
8x = 200 Divide both sides by 8.
x = 25 and so...
2x+1 = 51
2x+3 = 53
2x+5 = 55
2x+7 = 57
-----------
The sum of these four odd integers is 216
