Call the consecutive numbers
+n+, +n%2B1+, +n%2B2+, and +n%2B3+
---------------------
Given:
+n+%2B+n+%2B+1+%2B+n+%2B+2+%2B+n+%2B+3+=+34+
+4n+%2B+6+=+34+
+4n+=+28+
+n+=+7+
+n+%2B+1+=+8+
+n+%2B+2+=+9+
+n+%2B+3+=+10+
The consecutive numbers are 7, 8, 9, and 10
check:
+7+%2B+8+%2B+9+%2B+10+=+34+
+34+=+34+
OK
