You probably think you need 4 variables, but you actually don't. As a matter of fact, you only need 1!
They should be:
N, N+1, N+2, and N+3
Since they are consecutive, you just need to add 1 to the previous one.
Then translate the word problem into a mathamatical equation.

Since the first one is 20, you just take the 4 numbers consecutive after 20.
So, your numbers should be
20, 21, 22, and 23.
You can check that by adding them up and see if they add up to 86.
20+21+22+23=86
Hope this helps!
