Question 214726
What are the four consecutive even integers that equal 308?


Step 1.  Let n be an even integer, n+2, n+4, and n+6 be the next three consecutive integers.


Step 2.  Then n+n+2+n+4+n+6=308 as given by the problem statement where the sum of the four consecutive integers equal to 308.


Step 3.  The following steps will solve the equation in Step 2:


*[invoke explain_simplification "n+n+2+n+4+n+6=308" ]


Step 4.  The integers are:  74, 76, 78, and 80.


I hope the above steps were helpful.
