Find four consecutive even intergers whose sum is 340.
-----------------------
Even integers are always multiples of 2
--------------
2x, 2(x+1), 2(x+2), 2(x+3) are 4 consecutive even integers.
EQUATIOn:
2x + 2x+2 + 2x+4 + 2x+6 = 340
8x + 12 = 340
8x = 328
x = 41
2x = 82
2(x+1)=84
2(x+2)=86
2(x+3)=88
