Let x be the first integer. Then x + 2 the second, x + 4 the third and x + 6 the last. We just equate them to the given sum, which is 196.
Then the equation is:
x+%2B+%28x%2B2%29+%2B+%28x%2B4%29+%2B+%28x%2B6%29=196
Then solve.
4x+%2B+12+=+196
4x+=+184
x+=+46
The for consecutive even integers are: 46, 48, 50 and 52.
Thank you.
