NO. I AM NOT A TUTOR NOR A TEACHER. JUST SOMEONE WHO ENJOYS MATH AND AM HOPING TO GET MY TEACHERS CERTIFICATE SO I CAN TEACH IN OUR LOCAL MIDDLE SCHOOLS. THIS EFFORT IS A GOOD WAY TO KEEP MY SKILLS HONED.
x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)=340
4x=340-12
4x=328
x=328/4
x=82 answer for the first even number.
82+2=84
82+4=86
83+6=88
proof
82+84+86+88=340
340=340
