Question 213852
The sum of four consecutive even integers is 276. Find the four integers.


Step 1.  Let n be one even integer, n+2 the next consecutive integer, n+4 and n+6 are the next two consecutive integers.


Step 2.  So n+n+2+n+4+n+6=276 as given by the problem statement.


Step 3.  Solve using the following steps.


*[invoke explain_simplification "n+n+2+n+4+n+6=276" ]


Step 4.  So the even integers are 66, 68, 70, 72.  These integers add up to 276.


I hope the above steps were helpful. 

 
And good luck in your studies!
