You can put this solution on YOUR website! You simply rewrite the problem using the plus sign instead of sum, and the multiplication sign instead of "times".
consecutive integers means tat the second integer is the first integer plus one.
So:
integer*2 + (integer+1)*4 = 46
or
6*integer = 42
or
integer = 7. Checking:
2*7+4*8 = 46.
