seven times the smallest of four consecutive even integers is the same as two less than five times the largest of the integers. what are the four integers?
***
let x=smallest of four consecutive even integers
x+2=2nd of four consecutive even integers
x+4=3rd of four consecutive even integers
x+6=largest of four consecutiveeven integers
***
7x=5(x+6)-2
7x=5x+30-2
2x =28
x=14
x+2=16
x+4=18
x+6=20
the four consecutive even integers are: 14,16,18, and 20
