, "... is greater than 6 times the third."
(Literally translated into this inequality according to the description)







The description of the consecutive integers will work if n is 1 or greater.

4(n +(n +3)) > 6(n +2)
4n + (4n +3) > 6n + 2
8n +3 > 6n +2
2n + 3 > 2
2n > -1
n > -0.5

.
Let the numbers are n, n+1, n+2 and n+3.


Then the condition says 


4*(n + (n+3)) > 6*(n+2)


4n + 4n + 12 > 6n + 12


8n + 12 > 6n + 12


8n - 6n > 12 - 12


2n > 0


n > 0.

Answer.   Any four consecutive integers  n,  n+1,  n+2  and  n+3  with  n > 0  satisfy the problem's condition.


Be aware.   The solution by  @JessLynnLancaster24  is totally wrong and contains a lot of errors,
demonstrating extremely low level in Math.

This forum is not the place for such solutions and such  "tutors".
