You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = first integer
x+2 = second consecutive odd number
x+4 = third
x+6 = fourth
.
x +x+2 + x+4 +x+6 = 432
4x +12 = 432
4x = 420
x = 105
.
So, the four consecutive odd integers are: 105, 107, 109, and 111.
.
Always check your work.
105+107+109+111 = ??
= 432
