You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let the first integer be represented by I.
The second even integer would be I+%2B+2
The third is I+%2B+4
The fourth is I+%2B+6
You are told I+%2B+%28I%2B6%29+=+3%2A%28I%2B2%29+-+32
2I+%2B+6+=+3I+%2B+6+-+32
32+=+I
Test your answer.
The four even numbers are 32, 34, 36 and 38.
Does 32+%2B+38+=+%283%2A34%29+-+32 ???
