x, x+2, x+4, x+6 are the 4 integers.
\n" ); document.write( "x+x+2+x+4+x+6=-124
\n" ); document.write( "4x+12=-124
\n" ); document.write( "4x=-124-12
\n" ); document.write( "4x=-136
\n" ); document.write( "x=-136/4
\n" ); document.write( "x=-34 is the smallest integer.
\n" ); document.write( "-34+2=-32 for the next integer.
\n" ); document.write( "-34+4=-30 is the next integer.
\n" ); document.write( "-34+6=-28 is the largest integer.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "-34-32-30-28=-124
\n" ); document.write( "-124=-124
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
