You can put this solution on YOUR website!
i stumbled on to an equation that i haven't been able to prove works with all numbers but it worked with 60 and it worked with another number i devised by multiplying any 4 consecutive even integers together.
\n" ); document.write( "the least that was accomplished was supplying you with the answer to your question.
\n" ); document.write( "the best would be if it worked for all numbers that contained an answer.
\n" ); document.write( "i'll play with it some more.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "in the meantime, here's your solution
\n" ); document.write( "you want to find 4 consecutive even integers that add up to 60
\n" ); document.write( "if you let x be the first number then,
\n" ); document.write( "+x
\n" ); document.write( "+x+2
\n" ); document.write( "+x+4
\n" ); document.write( "+x+6
\n" ); document.write( "equals 4*x + 12
\n" ); document.write( "if x is going to work, then 4*x + 12 = 60
\n" ); document.write( "this becomes 4*x = 48
\n" ); document.write( "this becomes x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "(12 + 14 + 16 + 18) = (26 + 16 + 18) = (42 + 18) = 60
\n" ); document.write( "your answer is 12,14,16,18\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
