Question 168390
Find four consecutive even integers such that four times the fourth decreased by one half the second is 9.
-----------------------------------
1st: 2x -2
2nd: 2x
3rd: 2x+2
4th: 2x+4
-------------------------
EQUATION:
4(2x+4)-(1/2)(2x) = 9
8x+16 -x = 9
7x = -7
x = -1
--------------
1st: -4
2nd: -2
3rd:  4
4th: 6
