You can put this solution on YOUR website! x x+1 x+2 x+3
...
3(x+3) = (x+x+1+x+2)+6
...
3x + 9 = (3x+3) + 6
3x + 9 = 3x + 3 + 6
...
3x + * = 3x + 9
...
0 = 0
...
All numbers are a solution. Any four consecutive intergers.
For example,
1,2,3,4
3(4) = (1+2+3)+6
12 = 12
...
Another example
25,26,27,28
3(28) = (25+26+27) + 6
84 = 78 + 6
84 = 84
