Question 158311
Four consecutive odd
integers have a sum of 120. What are the integers?

Here are your 4 consecutive odd integers:

x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6

We add all 4 and equate to 120.

x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 120

4x + 12 = 120

4x = 120 - 12

4x = 108

x = 108/4

x = 27

Now that we know the value of x, we plug into the four consecutive odd integers shown above.

x = 27

x + 2 = 27 + 2 = 29

x + 4 = 27 + 4 = 31

x + 6 = 27 + 6 = 33

The four consecutive odd integers are:

27, 29, 31, 33
