Let the first number be x, then the next consective even numbers are (x+2), (x+4), and (x+6). The sum of these is 340, so...
x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6) = 340 Add the like-terms on the left side.
4x+12 = 340 Subtract 12 from both sides.
4x = 328 Divide both sides by 4.
x = 82 and...
x+2 = 84
x+4 = 86
x+6 = 88

what are the four consecutive even integers whose sum is 340?
---------------------
340/4 = 85.
2 numbers will be less, the other 2 more.
82, 84, 86, 88
Don't make it complicated.
