The sum of 4 consecutive even integer equals 7 times the greatest of the integers. Find the integers.
-------
1st: 2x-2
2nd: 2x
3rd: 2x+2
4th: 2x+4
------------------
Equation:
sum = 7(2x+4)
8x+4 = 14x+28
6x = -24
x = -4
-----
1st: 2x-2 = -10
2nd: -8
3rd: -6
4th: -4
---
Check: sum = 7(-4)
-28 = -28
