Can you please help me find four consecutive odd integers that have a sum of 440.

Step 1. Let n be one odd integer.

Step 2. Let n+2, n+4, and n+6 be the next three odd and consecutive integers.

Step 3. Then n+n+2+n+4+n+6=440 since four consecutive odd integers that have a sum of 440.

Step 4. Simplifying and olving the equation in Step 3 yields the following steps:





Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation yields





Divide 4 to both sides of the equation





Then

Check sum...107+109+111+113=440...which is a true statement.

Step 5. The 4 consecutive odd integers are: 107, 109, 111, and 113.

I hope the above steps were helpful.
