\n" ); document.write( "For a formal algebraic solution, you might do something like this....

\n" ); document.write( "x = 1st integer
\n" ); document.write( "x+2 = 2nd
\n" ); document.write( "x+4 = 3rd
\n" ); document.write( "x+6 = 4th

\n" ); document.write( "The sum is 328:

\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2Bx%2B2%2Bx%2B4%2Bx%2B6+=+328\"

\n" ); document.write( "Then solve that equation to find x and thus find the solution to the problem.

\n" ); document.write( "Or, if formal algebra is not required (and you want to get the answer as fast as possible)....

\n" ); document.write( "The average of the four integers is 328/4 = 82; the four integers are the two odd integers either side of 82 and closest to 82 -- 79, 81, 83, and 85.
