Find four consecutive even integers such that three times the sum of the second integer and the fourth integer is 192.
------------------------------------------
1st: 2x-2
2nd: 2x
3rd: 2x+2
4th: 2x+4
------------------
Equation:
3(2x+2x+4) = 192
4x+4 = 64
4x = 60
x = 15
---------------
1st: 2x-2 = 28
2nd: 2x = 30
3rd: 2x+2 = 32
4th: 2x+4 = 34
