You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find 4 consecutive even integers such that 2 times the sum of the 1st and 2nd is 14 more than 3 times the 4th
--------
1st:: 2x-2
2nd:: 2x
3rd:: 2x+2
4th:: 2x+4
------------
Equation::
2(2x-2 + 2x) = 3(2x+4) + 14
---------
2(4x-2) = 6x + 26
---------
8x-4 = 6x + 26
2x = 30
x = 15
--------
1st:: 2x-2 = 28
2nd:: 30
3rd:: 32
4th:: 34
