Question 701392: the sum of four consecutive even integers is 2 more than five times the first integer. Find the smallest integer
Answer by neatmath(302) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

We need four consecutive even integers.

Let x be the first even integer, then the other three even integers are:

x+2, x+4, and x+6

So we are given:

So our first even integer is 10, thus the four even integers we are looking for are:

10, 12, 14, and 16

I hope this helps! Keep practicing! :)
